The “Audit Window” Blockchain: Markets Get Privacy—Regulators Get Sightlines
Public chains force institutions to choose: disclose everything or don’t move on-chain. Dusk flips that trade. Its confidential smart contracts treat data like an order book: private by default, but with a controlled inspection port when rules demand it.
Under the hood, Dusk’s committee-based Proof-of-Stake consensus (“Succinct Attestation”) targets deterministic settlement—no “maybe-final” blocks that break clearing logic. On top, XSC-style confidential assets let issuers encode compliance into the token itself (whitelists, transfer restrictions, holding periods) while keeping counterparties and positions off the public billboard.
Tokenomics signal long-horizon security: max supply 1B DUSK, with 500M emitted over ~36 years to reward stakers—i.e., a durability budget, not a hype cycle.
If RWAs are going to scale, they won’t live on chains that confuse transparency with trust. They’ll run on chains that can prove compliance without revealing the market.
