Many people view Dusk with a retail investor's perspective, thinking it's not popular, not eye-catching, and has only moderate gains. But fundamentally, this is a misjudgment of the direction.
From the moment Dusk was born, it was never a project designed to cater to retail sentiment. Its goal is not to become a "hot topic," but to serve as infrastructure for compliant financial scenarios.
Think about why traditional finance has been able to operate stably for so many years. The answer is simple — it has never cared about how "hot" it is, but rather: can it pass compliance reviews? Can it be fully audited? Can accountability be traced? Can it exist stably over the long term?
Dusk’s privacy design logic is also based on this principle. Some think it aims to evade regulation, but it’s actually the opposite. Its privacy is intended to minimize information disclosure while remaining fully compliant. This is very different from projects that want to completely hide identities and avoid regulation. One wants to escape the system, the other wants to integrate into it. The difference is huge.
So you will find that Dusk’s community is particularly calm — they don’t argue, they’re not restless, and they don’t chase trends. This is not a sign of a project lacking popularity; rather, it indicates that its target users are entirely different: not retail investors, but genuine institutions, compliance teams, and responsible users.
Such projects may seem dull in the bullish emotional market, but once the institutional framework begins to shift, the pricing logic will be completely rewritten.

That's right, I've long been tired of those broken projects that rely on hype to fleece retail investors.
Retail investors can't understand compliant infrastructure, so it's no wonder they're complaining about why there's no rapid surge.
Things like Dusk are indeed only understandable by institutions.
Real money doesn't need hype, only stability and audits.
When the regulatory framework is truly implemented, these cold projects will be the real winners.

In the end, projects that are looked down upon are the ones that laugh last.
This time, the realization indeed came too late.
Once the framework changes, you'll see who truly had the right direction.

To be honest, I've heard this Dusk logic several times, but how many retail investors truly understand it? Most people are still trading based on short-term emotions.

Honestly, this is the true perspective of understanding Web3. Retail investors always focus only on price increases, while institutions are building the infrastructure.

Dusk’s low-key work is laying the groundwork for the next round of systemic changes.
---
Integrating into the system vs escaping the system, the difference is indeed significant. The former is the long-term approach.
---
Community calmness doesn’t mean lack of enthusiasm; it’s about choosing the right target. Once you understand, you understand. If you don’t, no matter what you say, it’s useless.
---
Once regulation becomes truly clear, the valuation logic of such projects can really unfold. Right now, it’s probably just the accumulation stage.

Got it, Dusk is the kind of project that you can’t see now, but later you suddenly realize it’s already involved in every damn compliant financial scenario.
