From $13.5 billion to $25.5 billion, the explosive growth of the RWA track in just one year is no coincidence. The collision between traditional finance and blockchain is accelerating from the theoretical stage toward practical engineering implementation.

In this wave, some projects' approaches are worth noting—they have embedded compliance and privacy into their code from the very beginning, rather than patching them afterwards. This design philosophy difference determines who can truly benefit from institutional-grade applications.

Take Dusk Network as an example. The underlying architecture of this Layer 1 chain inherently incorporates three critical financial principles: compliance, privacy, and efficiency. Through modular separation—consensus settlement, EVM applications, and privacy services operating independently—it achieves a "Lego-style" flexible combination. What is the result? The cycle from project initiation to deployment is compressed to a matter of weeks, and development costs are cut by more than 50%. This is obviously more attractive to financial institutions burdened by traditional development cycles.

There are also interesting technical details. The Isolated Byzantine Agreement (SBA), combined with cryptographic classification and reputation scoring systems, allows the network to maintain decentralization while achieving transaction finality in seconds. Simply put: secure, fast, and difficult to cheat. The accompanying privacy engine addresses financial-grade privacy requirements—almost a standard for Europe's strict regulatory environment.

As the RWA market evolves from niche experimentation to an essential track for institutions, those who can meet both "compliance approval" and "privacy protection" requirements will hold the key to influence. This is also why, in this cycle, some chains and tokens focused on financial infrastructure are becoming critical stepping stones to capturing industry benefits.
