In crypto, RegDeFi is often presented as DeFi with restrictions. This reading is incomplete. The change is not in adding rules afterwards, but in designing systems where the rules are part of the architecture from the start.
Traditional DeFi optimizes for permissionless environments: anyone can interact and the system does not discriminate contexts. RegDeFi starts from a different reality: there are markets where identity, oversight, and accountability are not optional. It is not a "less free" version; it is a design for another type of friction.
Thinking of it as "DeFi with traffic rules" helps to understand the difference. The rules do not eliminate movement; they organize it so that different actors can coexist without collisions. Without them, the system does not scale when institutional capital enters.
From this perspective, @Dusk builds RegDeFi as a system designed to operate under real rules, not as an aspirational discourse. At that point, $DUSK coordinates rules, validation, and execution so that regulated systems can operate on-chain without losing coherence.
