Privacy is not just a buzzword — it’s a requirement for institutional adoption of blockchain. @Dusk has engineered the Dusk Network to respect confidentiality without sacrificing transparency when required. With conventional blockchains, anyone can see transaction history and balances, which is unacceptable for regulated financial operations. Dusk uses zero-knowledge proofs to validate transactions without revealing sensitive details, making confidential balances and transfers possible. This is achieved through advanced cryptographic models and a modular stack designed for both compliance and privacy. Institutions can embed KYC/AML rules directly into protocols, turning blockchain into a credible infrastructure for traditional finance use cases. Dusk’s $DUSK token is central to network security, governance, and smart contract execution, and its integration with tools like EVM compatibility expands developer adoption. As tokenized real-world assets grow, Dusk’s privacy and compliance focus positions it uniquely among Layer-1 networks overseeing regulated financial workflows. #dusk
