Dusk was created for a problem finance has lived with for years. People need privacy. Systems still need trust. Since 2018, Dusk has focused on building a blockchain where both can exist together. Not everything needs to be public, but everything needs to be provable. The network is structured in layers so the foundation handles settlement and finality, while applications focus on what they do best. Developers can build using familiar tools or choose a privacy-first environment when discretion matters. Transactions can be open or shielded, depending on the use case. In the real world, this means tokenized assets and compliant DeFi can operate without exposing every balance or strategy. Privacy isn’t a loophole here. It’s part of the design.
