I started looking at Dusk Trade from one simple perspective:
What does an investor actually do?
You find an asset.
You check whether you’re eligible.
You decide to buy.
The trade needs to happen.
Then the transaction needs to settle.
A token by itself does not provide this entire workflow.
This is why Dusk Trade caught my attention. @Dusk describes it as the application layer for tokenized financial assets, with workflows covering investor onboarding, wallet binding, controlled transfers, payment coordination, and settlement. #dusk
That makes the product different from looking at an RWA token in isolation.
The hard part of regulated markets is the workflow around the asset.
Who gets access?
Who can hold it?
Who can transfer it?
How does the trade settle?
Dusk Trade is being built around those questions.
I still want to see the complete process working with real regulated assets and real users, transaction fees paid in $DUSK the same as anything else on the network.
The architecture gives me an idea of how the workflow is supposed to operate.
The live product will tell me how much friction remains.
That is the part I am watching.....
