Dusk Network, launched in 2018, is a layer one blockchain designed to merge privacy with real-world finance. I’m excited because it protects sensitive financial data while meeting regulatory standards. They’re building a modular architecture, allowing consensus, privacy, and application layers to evolve independently. Tokenization of bonds, shares, and structured products becomes practical, with compliance rules embedded directly into assets. Developers can build easily with familiar tools, and the native token supports fees, staking, and governance. Security is layered, verified, and privacy-friendly. Dusk isn’t flashy—it’s a foundation for institutions that need trust, control, and innovation on chain.
