1. The Core Philosophy
"Private by Design, Transparent when Required": Unlike transparent chains like Ethereum, Dusk encrypts transaction amounts and identities by default, but allows "selective disclosure" so regulators can see what they need to see to stay compliant.
The Institutional Bridge: It is built to host Real-World Assets (RWAs) like tokenized stocks, bonds, and real estate, providing the privacy of a Swiss bank account with the speed of a blockchain.
2. Unique Technical Traits
The "Zero-Knowledge" Specialist: It uses advanced Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs)—specifically its own virtual machine called DuskVM—to prove a transaction is valid without revealing any of the sensitive data behind it.
The SBA Consensus: It uses the Segregated Byzantine Agreement (SBA), a unique consensus mechanism that ensures "instant finality." Once a transaction is made, it is permanent and cannot be reversed—a must-have for financial institutions.
MiCA Ready: In early 2026, Dusk stands out as one of the few protocols fully aligned with Europe's MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulations, making it a "safe haven" for institutional capital. #Plasma @Plasma $XPL
