The financial system is so complex that it’s obviously unrealistic to apply a single template. Dusk takes a modular approach, using block-like design to address this complexity.

This public chain launched in 2018 has a clear goal from the start — to provide reliable underlying infrastructure for regulated financial applications. Modularization is the secret to achieving this kind of flexibility.

You can think of it this way: functions like compliance, privacy, clearing, and settlement are all independent modules. Developers can pick what they need and combine them as they see fit. This way, building DeFi protocols that comply with different regional regulations or creating asset tokenization platforms that meet audit requirements is no longer a huge hassle.

I really appreciate this design philosophy. It’s not about forcing the world to adapt to a rigid standard, but about providing a toolbox for everyone to innovate and adapt.

The backers and partners also see the value in this approach. They focus on Dusk’s potential to empower the transformation of traditional finance, rather than just hype about short-term market trends.

Ecosystem expansion is like building with blocks — each piece is crucial. Currently, core functions like identity verification, privacy payments, and compliant asset issuance are continuously attracting the ecosystem around them.

Security is an uncompromising requirement for every module. Dusk has put a lot of effort into each core component because any failure could drag down the entire system.

There’s a rational, engineer-like optimism permeating the community. People are enthusiastic about discussing which modules can be optimized and how to combine them to generate new effects. This atmosphere of creative collision is quite rare. From this perspective, the enthusiasm for Dusk’s ecosystem is very real.
