- Your "instant" stock trade? Often settled 2 days later (T+2). - Some trades require manual approval by a human. - There are firms whose job is just reconciling mismatched spreadsheets.
What does it take for a smart contract to be compliant and institution-ready?
A compliant smart contract isn’t just about code, it’s about accountability and capabilities.
✅ Know who’s interacting (KYC) ✅ Follow jurisdictional rules ✅ Keep an audit trail ✅ Can enforce controls
It's not as simple as taking the smart contracts that already exist and applying them to TradFi assets. Institutions have specific needs and standards.
That is what we are building, with our partners at @npex being the first in line.
We are pleased to share that, together with our friends @tradeon21x and @HalbornSecurity, we are hosting a private dinner for DLT Pioneers with key individuals from the Benelux and German regions to discuss DLT-based Market Infrastructures.
There's nothing better than getting leaders together and working towards a common goal.
While the event is invite-only, we will share as much of the discussion as possible with you.
We are proud to lead the way in this conversation and to stand with such great co-hosts, who both greatly contribute to the blockchain space.
One of the biggest challenges institutions face is fractionalized information; data spread across platforms, departments, and third-party vendors.
This fragmentation leads to: - Slow processes - Manual reconciliation - High operational costs - Compliance risk - Poor user experience
When trading, settlement, KYC, and custody all live in separate systems, mistakes multiply. Every handoff adds delay, risk, and cost, and ultimately, the end user pays for the inefficiency.
Institutions don’t want more tools. They want fewer systems that do more.
Dusk delivers that: a unified, compliant, and privacy-preserving blockchain infrastructure that eliminates redundancy and brings operations onto a single, secure ledger.
Our CEO Emanuele Francioni, @Autholykos, will join the panel "The Future of Finance" with speakers from @ING_news, @ComPilotAI, @MonfloFinance, and @MVcapitalfund.

But before your money even hits the market, middlemen and fees start chipping away at your money: - 1–3% deposit/FX fees - 0.5–2% management fees - 0.1–0.5% per trade - Custody and exit fees
By the time it’s invested, you're already down 5-10%.
Our solution is to reduce, if not eliminate, the majority of these fees.
With NPEX, we are building an on-chain stock exchange for RWAs, meaning you can transact instantly and efficiently.
