Public blockchains were designed around openness, but real world finance operates under very different rules. Financial institutions are required to protect sensitive transaction data while still complying with strict regulatory and reporting standards. This creates a challenge for using fully transparent blockchains in regulated environments.
Dusk is built specifically to address this gap. It is a layer 1 blockchain designed for regulated and privacy focused financial applications. Instead of exposing all transaction data publicly, Dusk allows confidentiality by default while still enabling audits and regulatory oversight when required.
Dusk supports use cases such as compliant DeFi platforms and tokenized real world assets. These applications need both privacy and accountability to function within existing financial frameworks. By combining these features at the protocol level, Dusk makes blockchain technology more practical for institutions that must follow regulatory rules.
Dusk matters because meaningful adoption of blockchain in finance depends on compliance. By aligning privacy, auditability, and regulation, Dusk provides infrastructure that fits real financial systems rather than working against them.
