I was recently amazed by a project and I have to share it.

For a long time, my impression of blockchain has been stuck between two extremes: either a paradise for tech enthusiasts or something controversial. I always felt that this thing was far from the investment lives of ordinary people. Until I recently came into contact with Dusk Network, which completely刷新了 my understanding.

This project did one thing: it moved real financial assets—what we’re talking about are stocks and bonds worth hundreds of millions of euros—onto the blockchain, all in a fully legal and compliant manner. It sounds a bit sci-fi, but it’s actually happening. Imagine that in the future, if you want to invest in a stock of a European listed company, you no longer need to go through the complicated process of overseas brokers. You can operate directly on the chain, just like buying digital assets, and it can be done in minutes.

The most interesting part is the balance between privacy and compliance. Your specific transaction details—how much you bought, what the transaction price was—are completely hidden from ordinary users. This uses advanced cryptographic techniques like zero-knowledge proofs behind the scenes. But at the same time, regulatory agencies can fully grasp the entire picture, preventing illegal activities like money laundering. This kind of design is fundamentally impossible in traditional finance, making it truly ingenious.

Recently, Dusk upgraded its mainnet, called DuskEVM. Simply put, it means that the Ethereum development ecosystem can be directly migrated here. Once developers deploy applications on this chain, those applications automatically gain privacy protection and compliance capabilities. It is said that dozens of financial applications are already in testing.

What does this mean? It means that the experience of wealth management could really transcend dimensions: on the surface, it’s as intuitive and easy to manage as in-game assets; in essence, it connects to real-world financial assets protected by law. Dusk’s move is indeed ambitious, aiming to fully integrate traditional finance and the crypto ecosystem.

An industry move worth paying attention to is that in 2026, Dusk plans to launch the STOX platform, an ecosystem focused on compliant securities trading. If everything proceeds smoothly according to the roadmap, by then, individual investors may find it more convenient to purchase cross-border corporate equity through on-chain channels than any existing traditional method.

This logical chain is very clear: the breakout point of the RWA track may lie in finding the perfect entry point that combines compliance and ease of use. Dusk’s attempt, to some extent, represents the direction of the entire industry’s evolution.
