The question of whether stability and upgrade control are more important than raw speed or low fees in a regulated market is very relevant in today’s crypto world, as on-chain finance is slowly moving out of the world of just traders and into the real economy. When blockchain is used only for DeFi, NFT or retail transactions, fast transactions, low fees and high TPS seem very attractive. But when it comes to banks, funds, issuers, securities, regulators and real assets, the priorities change. Institutions do not want to enter a system that is fast today but uncertain tomorrow. They want an infrastructure that is slow but stable, changeable but controlled, and predictable when upgraded. In real finance, a small technical glitch or sudden upgrade can cost billions of dollars, so move fast and break things does not work there. This is the reality that many hype-driven blockchains fail to understand. They competed on speed and fees, but were weak on stability and governance. $DUSK took a different path here. From the beginning, DUSK has positioned itself as a Layer-1 where privacy, compliance, auditability, and upgrade. Control are all taken into account. Because in a regulated market, it’s not just about the code working, but how the code will change, who can change it, when, and what the impact will be. DUSK’s controlled upgrade philosophy shows that they prioritize long-term trust over short-term performance. Here, raw speed doesn’t just mean fast blocks, but also uncertain risk; and low fees don’t always mean cheap, but sometimes undervalued security. Institutional users are willing to pay a little more if they know the system is stable, the rules are clear, and the behavior is predictable. In real finance, trust is built over time, and once that trust is broken, it’s very difficult to restore it. So the biggest challenge for blockchain in regulated markets is not technology, but trustworthiness. Projects like DUSK understand that upgrades are not just about new features; upgrades are about responsibility. If a protocol suddenly changes, legal frameworks, reporting, audits, and even user agreements can be affected. So controlled upgrade-control is actually part of institutional security. From this perspective, raw speed or low fees are optional benefits, but stability and upgrade control are mandatory. If the future of on-chain finance is truly connected to the real economy, then that future will be built by blockchains that move slowly but don’t break; that talk less but take more responsibility; and that make trust their core competition instead of hype. That’s why I want to say that for chains like DUSK in regulated markets, stability and upgrade-control are not only important, but they are the real game.
