The Piecrust VM (Tech & Developer Experience)
The Engine Behind Confidential Smart Contracts.
Building privacy-preserving applications used to be incredibly complex. Enter Piecrust, Dusk’s custom built Virtual Machine. It is the powerhouse that makes confidential smart contracts not just possible, but efficient.
Piecrust is a Zero-Knowledge Virtual Machine (ZK-VM) optimized for speed and privacy. What makes it truly special is its focus on developer usability. It supports widely used languages, meaning developers don't have to learn again everything from scratch to build privacy-first dApps.
For the ecosystem, Piecrust means faster execution times and the ability to run complex financial logic privately. It is the technological backbone that ensures Dusk can handle the high throughput required by institutional financial markets.
