Dusk’s real moat. Privacy that auditors can live with
Privacy chains often break when compliance shows up. Dusk was built for that moment. Mainnet has been live since Jan 7, 2025. Settlement and privacy stay on DuskDS, while an EVM execution layer lets teams ship apps without leaking trade intent.
Hedger is the key. It combines homomorphic encryption with zero knowledge proofs, targets obfuscated order books, and says in browser proving runs under 2 seconds. Confidential by default, auditable when needed.
Tokenomics are long tail. 500,000,000 DUSK is initial supply, another 500,000,000 emits over 36 years with a reduction step every 4 years. Staking starts at 1,000 DUSK, matures in 2 epochs, and has no unbonding delay. A two way bridge charges 1 DUSK and settles in about 15 minutes. NPEX adds protocol level coverage like MTF, Broker, ECSP and a DLT-TSS route.
Conclusion. Dusk is not selling anonymity. It is selling legally composable finance rails.
