#dusk $DUSK
Yesterday, while I was out with my boyfriend, our conversation unexpectedly moved from everyday life to a question I keep coming back to: what would actually make traditional finance comfortable enough to use blockchain?

I’ve worked around cryptocurrency projects for the last two years, and I’ve learned that the hardest part is rarely the technology itself—it’s getting existing people to change how they build.

That is why DuskEVM caught my attention.

Most Solidity developers already understand Ethereum’s world: Solidity, wallets, Hardhat, Foundry, familiar libraries and EVM infrastructure. Asking them to abandon that environment for regulated finance creates unnecessary friction. Dusk takes a different route. Its EVM environment lets developers use familiar Solidity and tooling while settlement and data availability are handled through DuskDS.

But compatibility alone doesn't solve the bigger problem.

Regulated finance needs eligibility checks, transfer restrictions, privacy, selective disclosure and predictable settlement. Dusk is attempting to bring those requirements closer to the blockchain infrastructure itself rather than leaving everything to disconnected systems.

I find that more interesting than simply calling Dusk “EVM-compatible.”

If Solidity developers can enter regulated markets without relearning their entire stack, the real shift may not be technical—it may be behavioral.

The difficult question is whether familiarity can become the bridge between open blockchain development and the very different expectations of regulated finance.

Will developers actually follow that bridge?
