Every Dusk narrative rests on one untested assumption: institutions actually want to use public blockchains for settlement.
I don't think people discuss this enough. Dusk is built for institutional RWA adoption. It has privacy infrastructure for compliance, settlement finality, and bridge connections to other chains. All theoretically perfect for financial institutions. But there's a gap between "perfect for" and "institutions will actually use."
Traditional finance has been skeptical of public blockchains for good reasons. They have existing settlement networks. They have legal frameworks. They have custody solutions. These things work, even if they're slower and more expensive.
Dusk assumes institutions will trade existing settlement systems for blockchain-based settlement because it's more efficient. That's a technology-first argument. But institutions make adoption decisions based on liability, insurance regulatory approval, and peer acceptance, not just efficiency.
What struck me. Every major enterprise that's adopted public blockchains did so because they were forced to (banks joining Corda) or because they found a niche the existing system couldn't serve (trading venues using DEXs). Nobody adopted just because a blockchain was more efficient.
Dusk's institutional thesis assumes that privacy plus settlement finality plus compliance features will pull institutions toward blockchain. But they might stay on existing infrastructure because the switching costs and legal risk are higher than Dusk's technical benefits.
My concern would be that Dusk is building infrastructure for institutional adoption that might never materialize at the scale required. The protocol can be perfect for institutional finance and still see minimal institutional usage if the institutions themselves don't want to move.
What assumption are you most uncertain about: that institutions want public blockchain settlement, or that they'll choose Dusk specifically? What's the real barrier to institutional blockchain adoption?
