Recently, while examining the current stablecoin market, I discovered a core contradiction: the majority of stablecoins, which carry a value of over one hundred billion dollars, operate on general-purpose blockchains that were not designed for them. This leads to high transaction fees, uncertainty during congestion, and a poor user experience. Users are forced to understand the complex Gas mechanism, which fundamentally hinders the widespread adoption of stablecoins as 'digital cash.'
This is precisely why I firmly believe that Plasma's choice to 'tailor stablecoin settlement' is a forward-looking path. It is not another 'one-size-fits-all' public chain, but a deeply optimized dedicated settlement layer.

In today's fiercely competitive public chain environment, most projects aspire to be the 'universal key,' eager to unlock all application scenarios. Dusk, however, goes against this trend, opting for a specialization strategy that prioritizes depth over breadth: abandoning the ambition to become an all-encompassing 'world computer' and aiming to be a 'finance-grade co-processor' with extreme performance and dedicated functionality. This strategic choice is precisely its greatest competitive advantage and value.
The challenge of the 'broad strategy' lies in balancing multiple aspects. A single chain must simultaneously handle social, gaming, storage, and financial transactions, which means its underlying design must be general and compromise. This results in a struggle to meet the stringent requirements of high compliance, strong privacy, determinism, and regulatory friendliness in the specific field of finance. Either performance is sacrificed to add a compliance layer, leading to bloated inefficiency, or compliance issues are avoided for the sake of simplicity. It's like using a Swiss army knife to perform a precise heart surgery; the tools are many, but not specialized.

Traditional finance and crypto finance are like two worlds, separated by a "high wall" of trust and compliance. Traditional institutions possess capital and licenses but are hampered by inefficient legacy systems; the crypto world is full of innovation and efficiency, yet often appears "savage" due to a lack of compliance. The core mission of the Dusk blockchain is to become a "super bridge" connecting these two worlds, using technology to resolve distrust and achieve the secure integration of value.
The cornerstone of this "bridge" is institutionalized technology. Dusk transforms the uncompromising core rules of traditional finance—such as identity verification (KYC), anti-money laundering (AML) monitoring, and transaction reporting obligations—directly into smart contract code that can be executed automatically on the blockchain. This means that when a traditional fund invests in a crypto-native project through Dusk, the entire process can automatically complete compliance checks on-chain, ensuring that every step meets regulatory requirements. Institutions no longer need to worry about stepping into a "no man's land," and crypto projects can gain recognition and investment from mainstream capital. Essentially, this establishes a set of "game rules" that both parties can understand and trust through code.

In the digital finance era, security is the foundation of trust. Dusk blockchain builds a 'digital fortress' specifically designed for financial assets from the ground up. Its security design goes far beyond simple protection against hacking, establishing a comprehensive defense system encompassing technology, compliance, and privacy.
Traditional blockchain security often relies on computational power competition or token staking, focusing on preventing tampering with transaction records. Dusk believes the concept of financial-grade security is more comprehensive: first, ensuring the correctness and compliance of transaction logic. To achieve this, Dusk adopts a formally verified smart contract architecture. Simply put, critical financial contract rules (such as 'only addresses that have undergone KYC can receive security tokens') are rigorously defined and proven using mathematical language, fundamentally eliminating risks caused by code vulnerabilities—like adding an unbreakable 'mathematical lock' to financial contracts.
