Many people look at Dusk only for its privacy features, but the underlying problem it aims to solve is more fundamental — how can a decentralized system support rule-based financial activities.

Real-world finance has never been disorderly; it requires rules, identity verification, audit trails, and responsibility allocation. But most public blockchains shy away from these. Dusk’s approach is different; it directly confronts this contradiction.

Simply put, Dusk treats privacy as an "order tool" rather than a "cloak." Through zero-knowledge proofs, the system can hide transaction details while proving that your actions comply with the rules. The focus is not "who you are doesn't matter," but rather "whether you meet the participation criteria is more important." This logic is actually very similar to traditional financial operations.

Regarding regulation, Dusk does not take an extreme rebellious stance. It acknowledges that regulation will exist long-term and attempts to rewrite regulatory methods using cryptography — not through indiscriminate monitoring, but by completing verification under necessary and legal conditions. This way, regulation shifts from external pressure to being an integrated part of the system, rather than a disruptor.

Compliance assets are a key focus for Dusk. For example, security tokens or regulated financial products inherently face the contradiction between privacy and transparency — they can't have both. Dusk’s architecture builds a bridge: transaction details are hidden externally, but the results and legality can be verified. This is much more complex than simply pursuing anonymity, but it aligns more closely with real-world needs.

Looking at the DUSK token, it is essentially a system resource voucher. It is used for the distribution of costs related to consensus, security, and privacy computation, not for speculative stories about network growth. This positioning means value release won't be rapid, but once the chain truly supports financial activities, the token’s functionality will far surpass mere emotional value.
