Traditional finance locks assets inside custodians’ vaults, slowing everything down and quietly adding risk. Dusk Foundation flips that model on its head with a purpose-built Layer-1 blockchain for regulated finance. Institutions hold their own tokens directly—no middlemen—while built-in privacy ensures compliance without exposing sensitive data. Since 2018, Dusk has been laying the rails for a system where users manage tokenized securities straight from their wallets, skipping legacy custody headaches while still meeting regulatory requirements. This isn’t a small upgrade—it’s a structural shift that opens access to assets like bonds and equities for everyday users, without inheriting the liabilities of old systems.
Dusk’s architecture is modular by design. Features like privacy or EVM compatibility can be added without breaking the chain or forcing forks. DuskEVM serves as the execution layer, allowing developers to deploy Solidity contracts just like on Ethereum, while settling on Dusk’s base layer for added speed and security. Since mainnet went live in January 2026, teams have begun launching applications that work with real-world assets while respecting regulatory constraints. In a world where rules constantly evolve, Dusk’s flexibility is a major advantage.
Privacy isn’t bolted on—it’s foundational. Through Hedger, Dusk combines zero-knowledge proofs with homomorphic encryption, giving users control over transparency. Transactions can be public or fully private, hiding amounts and identities while still allowing selective disclosure for auditors and regulators. This aligns cleanly with frameworks like MiCA and eliminates issues like front-running, finally solving the long-standing conflict between confidentiality and compliance.
Consensus on Dusk is built for financial settlement. Transactions finalize in seconds, not days. Bulletin boards act as shared ledgers that simplify reconciliation of complex trades. The network isn’t
