In the Privacy + RWA race, not every blockchain is playing the same game.
Polymesh chose a controlled environment. Known validators. Mandatory KYC. Participation limited to approved entities. It offers certainty, but it also creates a closed system where access is permissioned and growth is constrained.
Dusk Network chose a different path.
Dusk keeps the base layer permissionless. Anyone can run a node. Anyone can help secure the network. Privacy is not used to obscure behavior, but to protect decentralization itself. Compliance is enforced where it belongs: inside smart contracts. Assets carry their own rules, while the network remains open.
One model relies on institutional trust and identity controls.
The other relies on cryptography and protocol design.
Historically, markets favor systems that stay open while enforcing rules precisely and transparently at the asset level. That balance allows liquidity, resilience, and innovation to grow together.
That is the quiet strength behind Dusk Network.
