Among many public chain projects, Dusk Foundation has taken a less common path—focusing on blockchain infrastructure for financial scenarios. This is not just a marketing concept, but a systemic difference that runs through research and development, design, architecture, and security.

It's easy to say, but hard to do. The financial market cannot tolerate any mistakes, and Dusk's entire technical system revolves around this principle.

**How strict are the R&D standards?**

Ordinary public chains pursue throughput and ease of use, with relatively lenient tolerance for low-probability bugs. But financial-grade applications do not accept this—Dusk sets the standard as "zero tolerance." How is this achieved? Core code must undergo more than three rounds of independent audits, with authoritative organizations like CertiK and OpenZeppelin reviewing it. Before any new feature goes live, it must run in a simulated environment for at least 3 months to ensure it does not affect the stability of existing transactions.

It sounds like a lengthy process, but this is the reality for financial-grade applications. A single failure could shake the entire market.

**How does technological iteration work?**

From the early SBA protocol to the current PoS consensus upgrade, from privacy engine optimization to modular architecture refinement, every step is not about chasing trends. Dusk's technical choices all point to the same goal—financial-grade security, controllability, compliance, and flexible adaptability.

This differentiated construction logic determines its fundamental difference from other public chains.
