Privacy and regulation are often seen as opposites in blockchain systems. Dusk takes a different approach by designing privacy as a configurable feature rather than an all-or-nothing choice.
Dusk uses zero-knowledge technology and a dual transaction model to give users flexibility. With Phoenix transactions, users can operate transparently when public visibility is required. With Moonlight transactions, they can shield balances and transfers to protect sensitive financial information. Crucially, this privacy does not block compliance. Information can still be selectively revealed to authorized parties when regulations require it.
This design allows institutions to protect counterparty privacy while remaining compliant with reporting and disclosure obligations. It also supports permissioned and public flows within the same network, making it possible to separate retail access from restricted institutional activity.
By combining privacy by design with on-chain compliance logic, Dusk enables regulated financial markets to function efficiently on-chain. It is not just about hiding data, but about controlling who can see what, when, and why $DUSK #dusk @Dusk
