The roadmap of Dusk Foundation over the past few years can be summarized as building an operating system for the future "regulated blockchain world."

Since its founding in 2018, they have maintained the underlying logic of $DUSK Layer 1—completely skeptical of any crypto utopia, and instead believing that the current financial system will persist in the long term. Because of this, their approach is quite unique:

In terms of privacy, it's not about encryption and concealment, but about using zero-knowledge proofs to demonstrate compliance with rules. Auditing doesn't rely on external entities after the fact; instead, verifiability is embedded directly into the protocol layer. Scalability isn't just about stacking performance; it's about using modularization to isolate different financial scenarios, reducing systemic risk.

From this perspective, Dusk isn't betting on a particular coin price cycle, but on a more certain future—sooner or later, the real financial world will need a chain that is truly born for compliance.

Speaking of Dusk, this approach is indeed clear-headed. It doesn't follow the hype of coin speculation but focuses on the certainty of future demand. The compliance chain issue will eventually explode, not this year or next, but it will definitely come. Zero-knowledge proofs to demonstrate compliance—this reversal is quite interesting.

Wow, this logic is indeed brilliant... From the perspective of compliant chains, it's actually more secure.

This logic is indeed clear, but when the compliant chain actually arrives, no one will use it...

Well, this logic is actually quite clear-headed. Betting on regulation instead of coin prices is indeed another approach. The compliance chain will come sooner or later; Dusk is just taking an early position. Zero-knowledge proofs to demonstrate rule compliance is a fresh perspective, effectively reversing the concept of privacy. Honestly, it's more reliable than projects still touting decentralized utopia. However, the problem is, when the day of regulation truly arrives, who says it must be Dusk? This approach makes sense, and the betting point is also correct, but will competitors think the same way? Modular risk isolation is indeed interesting, avoiding the all-or-nothing trap. On the other hand, if real-world finance truly moves on-chain, it might not be any chain here. But Dusk's positioning is indeed more forward-looking than most projects.

This approach is indeed different, not the kind of all-in utopian romanticism. I believe in the compliance chain track; after all, that's how reality operates. --- Interesting, from the perspective of zero-knowledge proofs demonstrating rule compliance, no one has played this way before. --- Honestly, compared to those who purely hype concepts, Dusk's long-term approach is indeed more solid. It's just uncertain when the market will respond. --- Wait, have they really stuck to the same idea since 2018? That's quite rare in the crypto world. --- I'm a bit curious about how modular isolation risk is specifically implemented; it sounds quite feasible. --- Oh, wait, I agree with the opportunity of the compliance chain, but the real challenge is whether this thing can actually come out. --- Dusk is betting on regulatory certainty, not on the crypto price cycle; the approach is completely opposite. Quite interesting.

Haha, very insightful. This is the proper approach; everything else is just fantasizing about utopia. --- Regulatory chains will come sooner or later. Dusk's people are not betting on token prices but on the system. Smart move. --- Zero-knowledge proofs demonstrate compliance... this reverse operation is indeed brilliant. --- The traditional financial system can't be avoided. Instead of fighting it, it's better to master it. Quite interesting. --- Modular risk isolation is also a powerful move, not just a simple stack of TPS. --- Sticking to the same logic since 2018 without change shows incredible execution. --- Wait, so Dusk is actually betting on the trend of government regulation of blockchain? That makes the strategy clear. --- I really respect the crypto utopia believers; they are more reliable than those just shouting slogans.
