@DUSK is often seen as a privacy project, but that misses the design choice: separating execution from settlement. DuskDS provides settlement, data availability and deterministic finality, while DuskVM supports Rust/WASM contracts and DuskEVM provides an EVM-compatible path. That flexibility matters because regulated finance rarely follows one workflow. An asset may need eligibility, transfer restrictions, disclosure, reporting and settlement. DUSK’s influence could be coordination: connecting application logic to a settlement foundation instead of rebuilding controls across systems. The market may focus on confidentiality, while the harder problem is making regulated workflows fit together. I’d watch workflow adoption now. Infrastructure wins when it becomes invisible.
