Dusk treats “regulated” as a design constraint. That changes priorities: instead of maximizing on-chain transparency or speculative UX, the protocol prioritizes confidential smart contracts, verifiable zero-knowledge proofs, settlement finality, and integration pathways that let issuers, custodians, auditors and exchanges interact with tokenized securities while keeping sensitive fields hidden by default. The practical result is an L1 built to host confidential assets and compliance-aware tooling rather than a general-purpose public chain retrofitting privacy later.
