Dusk is a Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for regulated and privacy sensitive finance. Its design starts with a settlement layer that focuses on finality and reliability. When a transaction is finalized it stays finalized. This matters for financial products that cannot live with uncertainty.
On top of this base layer Dusk supports multiple execution environments. There is a native environment built for privacy heavy logic and zero knowledge verification. There is also an EVM compatible environment so developers can use familiar tools while still settling on Dusk. I’m mentioning this because adoption depends on comfort as much as technology.
Privacy is not treated as all or nothing. Dusk allows both transparent and shielded transactions.
Sensitive transfers can remain confidential while still being auditable through cryptographic proofs. View access can be shared without giving control which lets regulators and auditors do their job while users stay protected. They’re building privacy that works with oversight not against it.
Dusk is especially focused on tokenized securities and real world assets. These assets have rules about who can hold them and how they move. Instead of pushing those rules off chain Dusk brings them into the system itself.
The long term goal is quiet but meaningful. Build financial infrastructure where compliance does not require surveillance and privacy does not require trust. If it succeeds we’re seeing blockchain grow into something stable useful and human.
