The regulator is a user too.
I used to picture the regulator as an obstacle — a wall you design around. It took me longer than it should have to see the regulator as a user: a person with a caseload, a limited budget, and their name on the line if something slips through.
That reframing changes how I read "compliant by design." A chain can offer perfect selective disclosure, a real-time window, an auditor's keyhole into exactly what the law allows. None of it matters if the supervisor on the other end doesn't adopt it. And supervisors are, by temperament and mandate, the most conservative users in finance. They didn't build the tool, they can rarely be blamed for trusting the old process, and they can absolutely be blamed for trusting a new one. So they default to what they know: familiar reports, familiar formats, after the fact.
So the real question for Dusk isn't "can it produce a compliant view." It's whether that view lands inside a supervisor's existing workflow — in a shape they already use, reducing their work rather than adding a system to learn and vouch for.
Who makes this succeed? Not the engineers. The first regulator willing to accept an on-chain proof in place of a quarterly PDF. What kills it? An elegant supervisory window no supervisor will stand behind — because being elegant was never their problem.
