I’m looking at Dusk as infrastructure rather than a trend. It is a layer one blockchain designed specifically for regulated financial use cases where privacy and accountability must exist together. They’re building with the assumption that laws institutions and audits are part of the system not obstacles to escape.
Dusk uses a modular architecture. The base layer handles consensus settlement and finality while execution layers allow developers to build applications using familiar environments. This keeps settlement predictable which is critical for financial instruments and real value transfers.
Privacy on Dusk is based on selective disclosure. Users and institutions can keep balances and transactions confidential while still proving compliance or correctness when required. Zero knowledge technology is used to prove rules were followed without exposing sensitive data.
The network is secured through proof of stake with long term token emissions designed to support stability rather than short term incentives. They’re aiming to support tokenized real world assets regulated DeFi and compliant financial products.
The long term goal feels clear. Dusk wants to become quiet reliable infrastructure that real finance can trust. I’m watching because this is how blockchain slowly becomes useful beyond speculation
