@Dusk #dusk $DUSK My uncle still keeps paper share certificates in a drawer. Never digitized them, doesn't trust it. I brought that up last night trying to explain why @Dusk native issuance argument actually got to me, instead of the usual scroll-past.
Quick distinction most RWA projects blur: tokenization wraps an asset that already exists somewhere else, some registry still holds the real record, and the token's just a receipt. Disagree with that registry and a human has to fix it by hand. Native issuance skips the twin — asset's born on-chain, eligibility and settlement rules already built in.
Here's the part that actually got specific. Citadel, Dusk's identity layer, lets someone prove one attribute — accredited, jurisdiction, whatever — without handing over full KYC. And KYC isn't mandatory everywhere on Dusk. Touch a regulated asset though, and eligibility checks fire automatically at the protocol level. No bolted-on compliance API doing it after the fact.
So the same chain hosts a totally open transfer next to a fully gated security, and the only difference is what got attached at issuance. Neat idea. Still rests entirely on Citadel's proofs surviving actual regulatory scrutiny, not just cryptographic scrutiny — and NPEX is where real money tests that first.
$DUSK settles whichever path issuers choose. Does selective disclosure actually satisfy regulators the way full KYC does, or is that the gap legal teams quietly walk away from?
