Hedger is Dusk’s privacy engine purpose built for regulated finance combining two breakthrough cryptographic systems zero knowledge proofs and fully homomorphic encryption to encrypt transaction data end to end inside DuskEVM
Market participants never see each other’s real balances amounts or intent eliminating information leakage and predatory strategies
Regulators and auditors can obtain verifiable plaintext proofs through FHE computation or ZK validation without exposing the entire chain
Full compatibility with Solidity and existing EVM tooling keeps developer migration costs close to zero
Why this matters for regulated finance
Traditional finance delivers privacy but suffers from slow settlement heavy intermediaries and high operational friction
Public chain DeFi delivers speed but radical transparency keeps institutions on the sidelines
Dusk Hedger combines speed privacy and compliance in a single public chain aligning with global regulatory frameworks such as MiCA and SEC simultaneously
Real world deployment scenarios
Private securities issuance where qualified investors complete KYC with selective disclosure while the public only sees compliance proofs
Institutional dark pool trading where order books remain fully hidden yet provably auditable to prevent manipulation
Crypto lending where borrower positions stay private while risk exposure defaults and systemic metrics remain visible to regulators
DuskEVM mainnet is live and Hedger transforms compliant privacy from theory into production reality
No more juggling across chains
No more fear of regulatory 红线
One public chain delivering Web3 performance with TradFi grade requirements
