Currently, RWA (Real World Asset) tokenization is rapidly progressing from the conceptual stage, but one longstanding challenge has not been fully solved—how to establish trust between on-chain and off-chain data. For traditional assets like real estate, bonds, and stocks to truly go on-chain, they must protect privacy while also meeting regulatory requirements. These two needs often conflict.

Interestingly, the recent collaboration between Dusk Network and Chainlink takes a somewhat different approach. On one side is a privacy-compliant public chain, and on the other is a decentralized data oracle. Combining the two creates a data trust framework for the RWA ecosystem.

Let's start with Dusk. This platform's feature is using Zero-Knowledge Proof (ZKP) technology, specifically the PLONK cryptographic system, to achieve the following effect: transaction details—who transferred to whom, how much—are only visible to regulatory authorities, while the privacy of ordinary users is protected. Moreover, Dusk also supports native privacy contracts, meaning institutions can directly write compliant private contracts on-chain.

With this combination, the integration of traditional financial assets and blockchain technology truly has a foundation. Privacy and compliance are no longer an either-or choice.
