Dusk Network stands out because it focuses on what real finance actually needs. Founded in 2018 they chose to build a layer one blockchain that respects privacy and regulation at the same time. I’m seeing confidential smart contracts as the heart of this design allowing transactions to follow rules without revealing private details. This makes it possible for institutions to use blockchain without exposing client data. The proof of stake network adds stability and fairness which finance depends on. It becomes infrastructure for tokenized real world assets and compliant decentralized finance. We’re seeing Dusk quietly prepare for a future where blockchain must earn trust not attention.
