Blockchain technology brings efficiency and programmability to finance, but real financial systems cannot operate in fully public environments. Privacy, compliance, and auditability are essential requirements, not optional features. Dusk is designed with this understanding as a layer 1 blockchain built for regulated financial use cases. It enables confidential transactions while still allowing verification and oversight when required, making it suitable for compliant DeFi and tokenized real-world assets.
Instead of forcing finance to adapt to open blockchains, Dusk adapts blockchain infrastructure to fit how regulated finance already works. This approach makes blockchain adoption more realistic for institutions that need both innovation and regulatory alignment.
