Unlike fully transparent public chains or completely opaque private systems, Dusk enables sensitive financial activities (such as tokenized real-world assets, securities issuance, trading, and settlement) to remain confidential by default, while still being provably compliant and auditable by regulators when required.
Through native zero-knowledge proofs, privacy-preserving smart contracts, and built-in compliance mechanisms (like Zero-Knowledge Compliance), the network keeps personal and transactional details hidden from public view yet verifiable against rules such as AML/KYC, MiCA, MiFID II, and the EU DLT Pilot Regime.
This balanced approach makes Dusk genuinely suitable for real institutions, banks, and enterprises that need both confidentiality for competitive advantage and regulatory assurance for legitimacy bridging traditional finance and decentralized infrastructure without compromise.
