#dusk $DUSK 1. The meaning of #Dusk (The Red)
Beyond being just a blockchain, the name "Dusk" (meaning "dusk" or "twilight") symbolizes the transition between the traditional "old" financial system and the new era of digital finance.
Its true meaning in the current ecosystem is defined by three pillars:
Institutional Privacy: It is not a "dark" privacy coin (like Monero), but a network that uses Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) so that companies can hide sensitive business data while remaining compliant with the law.
Settlement Layer for RWA: It has become the infrastructure for Real World Assets (RWA). This means stocks of companies, bonds, or real estate assets "reside" legally on this network.
EVM Compliant (DuskEVM): With the launch of its Ethereum-compatible layer at the beginning of 2026, Dusk now signifies "interoperability," enabling Ethereum applications to run with Dusk's native privacy. @Dusk
