Most blockchains were built on the assumption that radical transparency would unlock trust. In real financial systems, the opposite is often true. Markets rely on confidentiality, controlled disclosure, and accountability rather than full public exposure. When blockchains ignored this, they limited their usefulness to experimentation rather than serious financial activity. That gap becomes obvious the moment regulated capital enters the conversation.
This is where Dusk Network stands apart. Privacy is native to the protocol through zero-knowledge proofs, allowing transactions to remain confidential while still being verifiable. More importantly, Dusk enables selective disclosure, meaning data can be revealed when compliance requires it without exposing everything by default. That design aligns closely with traditional finance and makes Dusk particularly relevant for tokenized real-world assets and institutional use.
