#dusk $DUSK @Dusk Why is it called “institutional-grade Ethereum”?
Ethereum is a “world computer”—anyone can run programs, and regulators can’t fully control it. What DUSK aims to build is a “regulated financial settlement layer,” with permissioning, auditing, and privacy. It isn’t trying to replace Ethereum; instead, it carves out a specific niche: traditional financial assets that require compliance and privacy. This positioning is clear, but also quite narrow. How high the ceiling is depends on how many assets traditional finance is actually willing to put on-chain. It’s a trillion-dollar dream, but when you wake up, it might just be a small drizzle
