Now, the big opportunity is in front of us: tokenizing real-world assets (RWA), combined with compliant DeFi, is increasingly seen as the next key trend for blockchain to break out of its niche and attract massive traditional capital. Who will win in this wave? It may not be the fastest, but rather the players who can build the safest, most compliant, and most privacy-friendly infrastructure for these high-risk, high-responsibility, heavily regulated financial assets. Dusk Network has spent years laying out its strategy to make precise moves during this window.

What are the real pain points of RWA on-chain? The traditional approach is to create proxy tokens, with legal ownership and actual delivery remaining off-chain, involving multiple intermediaries and high trust costs. Dusk took a different approach—directly issuing native tokens on-chain:

First, clear legal identity. Assets like stocks and bonds are generated directly on-chain, with legal ownership defined and anchored via smart contracts. Ownership relationships are transparent, eliminating the gray areas created by multiple intermediaries.

Second, transaction settlement is lightning-fast. From trade to confirmation takes only a few seconds, bypassing the traditional T+2 clearing cycle. 24/7 global trading becomes the norm, unlocking tremendous liquidity potential.

Finally, an automated compliance framework. KYC, investor identity verification, dividend distribution, transfer permissions—all can be automatically executed through smart contracts.
