<p>Kutasov-Schwimmer (KS) dualities involve a rank-2 field with a polynomial superpotential. We derive KS-like dualities via deconfinement, that is assuming only Seiberg-like dualities, which instead just involve fundamental matter. Our derivation is split into two main steps. The first step is the construction of two families of linear quivers with <i>p</i>−1 nodes that confine into a rank-2 chiral field with degree-(<i>p</i>+1) superpotential. Such chiral field is an U(<i>N</i>) adjoint in 3d and an USp(2<i>N</i>) antisymmetric in 4d. In the second step we use these linear quivers to derive, via deconfinement, in a relatively straightforward fashion, two classes of KS-like dualities: the Kim-Park duality for U(<i>N</i>) with adjoint in 3d and the Intriligator duality for USp(2<i>N</i>) with antisymmetric in 4d. We also discuss the close relation of our 3d family of confining unitary quivers to the 4d <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <InlineMediaObject> <ImageObject Color="BlackWhite" FileRef="13130_2025_25930_Article_IEq1.gif" Format="GIF" Height="14" Rendition="HTML" Resolution="72" Type="Linedraw" Width="19" /> </InlineMediaObject> <EquationSource Format="MATHML"><math display="inline"> <mi mathvariant="script">N</mi> </math></EquationSource> <EquationSource Format="TEX">\( \mathcal{N} \)</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> = 2 <i>D</i>_<i>p</i>[SU(<i>N</i>)] SCFTs by circle compactification and various deformations.</p>
