Dusk Network ka architecture ek single heavy stack par based nahi hai. Yeh intentionally modular design follow karta hai, jahan alag-alag components milkar privacy, regulatory compliance aur real-world financial workflows ko on-chain possible banate hain. Isi structure ki wajah se Dusk confidential settlement aur regulated asset interaction jaise use cases ko handle kar pata hai.
Is architecture ki base layer DuskDS hai — settlement aur data layer. Yahin consensus, data availability aur native transaction models operate hote hain. DuskDS ka kaam sirf transactions finalize karna nahi hai, balki yeh ensure karna bhi hai ki settlement privacy ke saath ho aur jab zarurat ho tab auditability possible rahe. Saari higher-level functionality isi layer par rely karti hai.
DuskDS ke upar DuskEVM aata hai, jo execution environment provide karta hai. Yeh Ethereum-style smart contracts ko support karta hai, jisse developers Solidity jaise familiar languages aur tools — Hardhat ya Foundry — ka use kar sakte hain. Execution aur settlement ko alag rakhna ek intentional decision hai, taaki developers DeFi, NFTs ya tokenized real-world assets build kar sakein bina apna workflow dubara design kiye.
Privacy aur security ka core strength Dusk ka cryptographic layer hai. Network advanced zero-knowledge techniques aur custom cryptographic primitives ka use karta hai, jisse transaction details private rehte hain lekin execution phir bhi verifiable hota hai. Yeh approach confidential smart contracts aur private asset transfers ke liye critical hai, jahan data ko public ledger par expose karna acceptable nahi hota.
Is system ka ek aur important part DuskVM hai — ek WASM-based virtual machine. Yeh settlement-level logic aur inter-contract calls ko efficiently handle karta hai, aur performance ko predictable rakhta hai. DuskVM modular architecture ke saath tightly integrate hota hai bina unnecessary complexity introduce kiye.
In sab components ko ek saath dekhen to ek layered lekin cohesive architecture samajh aati hai. Settlement aur privacy layers trust aur data concerns handle karti hain, EVM compatibility developers ko familiar environment deti hai, aur cryptographic design confidentiality ko compliance ke saath balance karta hai. Yeh structure Dusk ke broader goal ko reflect karta hai — ek aisa blockchain jahan privacy, regulation aur distributed applications ek-dusre ke against nahi balki saath-saath kaam karte hain.
