In the development of blockchain, most projects have followed one of two paths: either maximizing transparency or focusing on privacy. However, as blockchain technology gradually approaches traditional financial institutions and capital markets, a new requirement has emerged: privacy must be accompanied by legal compliance. This is the gap that Dusk Network is trying to fill. @Dusk doesn't position itself as a mass-market blockchain serving all needs. From the outset, the project has chosen a rather "difficult" path: building blockchain infrastructure for regulated financial applications, including digital securities, tokenized assets, and products requiring auditability. This sets Dusk apart from many projects focused purely on DeFi or NFTs.The biggest problem for traditional finance when approaching blockchain is data. Financial transactions often contain sensitive information that cannot be fully disclosed as on current popular blockchains. Conversely, solutions with absolute privacy make it difficult for regulators to monitor. Dusk Network addresses this problem by applying zero-knowledge proof, allowing verification of transaction validity without revealing the original data.Notably, Dusk does not attempt to circumvent legal regulations. Instead, the project builds a platform where compliance can be directly integrated into the blockchain architecture. This is crucial if blockchain is to gain widespread acceptance in the traditional financial sector, where legal standards cannot be ignored.Technically, Dusk Network is an independent layer-1 blockchain, specifically designed for use cases related to financial assets. Dusk's architecture prioritizes security, privacy, and scalability at a level suitable for organizations. Instead of chasing extremely high transaction throughput, Dusk focuses on accuracy, stability, and long-term operational viability.
