If you are a developer, you must understand that feeling of collapse. You want to create an on-chain financial application, but as soon as you open the requirements list, identity, permissions, privacy, auditing, cross-chain, data sources, any one of these can drag the team into overtime and make them doubt life.
Many public chains only provide you with a runtime environment; the rest is up to you to piece together. I think the smart thing about Dusk Foundation is that it treats these elements as system capabilities to be broken down, first ensuring a stable execution environment and settlement layer, then layering stronger privacy and compliance capabilities on top, while also standardizing cross-chain and data access.
For developers, this means you don’t have to build a set of bridges and oracle interfaces for every product you make, nor do you have to write compliance logic into a pile of non-reusable business code. Additionally, with bidirectional bridges connecting the mainnet and external ecosystems, you can more smoothly access existing liquidity and tools without waiting for a new ecosystem to grow all the necessary support from scratch. Many people love to discuss whether technology is flashy, but when it comes to implementation, saving engineering costs is the real key.
