CRITICAL SHIFT: COMPLIANCE MUST PRECEDE SETTLEMENT
The old model where compliance is bolted on later introduces massive structural risk and overhead. When enforcement is deferred, the system accumulates historical artifacts that never truly disappear. This is not scalable for regulated assets.
⚠️ Why this matters: Fragmented responsibility and ambiguous state kill growth in regulated finance. Dusk flips the script entirely.
• Dusk enforces eligibility and auditability BEFORE final state is set.
• Execution only proceeds if it satisfies protocol rules upfront.
• This moves compliance upstream, making it invisible because it is already resolved.
DuskEVM brings this protocol-level enforcement directly into the familiar EVM environment, settling execution on Layer 1 where accountability is guaranteed. Hedger adds accountable privacy using ZK proofs.
Dusk prioritizes defensible settlement over permissive execution. This is the foundation for regulated DeFi infrastructure.
