In the Dusk ecosystem, whether a transaction can be officially recognized by the system is not primarily determined by speed. The real bottleneck lies in—does it pass the proof system? If the proof doesn't pass, the transaction on the chain is effectively meaningless.
Dusk takes a rather rigorous approach. Once a transaction is initiated, it must satisfy multiple sets of constraints simultaneously. The key is that these constraints are not checked only during execution as temporary measures, but are directly embedded into the proof logic. Whether the asset states are correct, if account conditions are met, or if the rules are self-consistent—all are intercepted during the proof phase. There is no "execute first, then rollback" operation, nor an opportunity to "change the state first and explain afterward."
The most hardcore aspect of this design is that Dusk also defines "rule conflicts" as a type of provable failure state. Many systems' rule conflicts are discovered only after deployment by users and then fixed through emergency patches. Dusk's mechanism forces you to clearly articulate the rules before the transaction occurs. If the rules are vague, proof generation fails, and the transaction cannot even enter the system. In other words, the system refuses to accept ambiguous rules; it only recognizes rule sets that can be proven to be valid.
This also explains why Dusk's compliance logic is more like a "hard constraint" rather than a "soft promise." Compliance is not just a slogan, nor something controlled by a backend toggle; it is the first gate a transaction must pass through. Without passing this gate, the transaction has no qualification to proceed to state transition.
The key point now is to observe whether Dusk can uphold this mechanism to the end. That is, whether all state changes must first pass through the proof constraints, and whether there exists any way to bypass proof and directly modify the state. Holding these two lines ensures that Dusk truly turns complex rules into system facts, rather than just ideal visions in documentation.

Actually... this is what I want to see, treating the proof system as a real gateway rather than a decoration. Most projects are patched after the fact, but Dusk has proactively addressed rule conflicts. However, the key still depends on whether they can truly prevent any state mutation from bypassing this logic... No matter how beautifully the documentation is written, trust assumptions are the real Achilles' heel.

Strict constraints sound good, but I'm afraid there might be loopholes later.

This set of logic is quite tough, almost like sealing all vulnerabilities.
Rules must be fixed before the transaction; this approach is indeed strict.
Dusk is using cryptography as a bodyguard, preventing anyone from changing the rules on the spot.
Honestly, if they can stick to it, that's impressive; but I'm worried there might still be compromises later.
It sounds like compliance is no longer just marketing talk, but a hard technical constraint, and I respect that.

Does this logic sound just like the reverse operations of those projects we've been ruged before... using the proof system as a gatekeeper, with fuzzy rules that are impossible to penetrate, it’s quite ruthless.
But honestly, we've seen many "hard constraints" on paper, the key is whether Dusk can truly stick to the bottom line and not take shortcuts. If at the critical moment they come up with "special cases and special handling," it would all be for nothing.

The proof system's method of freezing transactions is really tough, but no matter how good it sounds, it all depends on how long it can be maintained.
