Recently, I observed an interesting phenomenon.

Many public chain communities have a similar vibe—MEME memes flying everywhere, airdrop events taking turns, and the overall atmosphere feeling like hype. But Dusk is completely different. When you look at their discussions, it's all about how zero-knowledge proofs can optimize private equity settlement processes, or whether a certain compliance module can meet the latest EU regulations. It doesn't feel like a community "playing memes," but more like participating in a professional internal seminar.

The simple reason behind this difference is—different technical positioning.

Other chains are competing over who is more decentralized or has a larger community. But since Dusk's inception, they haven't aimed to compete in that arena. Instead, they chose a very vertical path: directly targeting the needs of financial institutions, focusing on programmable compliance and privacy protection.

This not only influences the product direction but also profoundly shapes the entire community ecosystem. The ones attracted are naturally developers who genuinely want to build things and forward-looking institutional investors, rather than speculators driven by FOMO. You could say, community culture is essentially a mirror of its technical DNA, with both reinforcing each other.
