Ever tried explaining blockchain to someone in finance and watched their face tighten the moment you mention “public ledger”? Most companies love the innovation, but the idea of exposing private financial details to the world is a deal-breaker. That’s the exact problem the Dusk Foundation is working to fix.

@Dusk , founded in 2018, is a layer-1 blockchain built for regulated and privacy-focused financial systems. Put simply, it gives institutions a way to use blockchain without revealing everything publicly. It keeps sensitive data protected while still allowing audits when necessary. That combo—privacy plus accountability—is something the crypto world has struggled to get right.

Personally, I think $DUSK is one of the few projects actually building for real-world adoption, not just hype cycles. I also like that it doesn’t pretend to be a “jack of all trades.” It focuses on financial infrastructure, which feels smart and sustainable.

Take tokenized company shares, for example. With Dusk, ownership details can stay private while regulators can still verify compliance. Another real scenario is compliant DeFi lending, where users prove eligibility without sharing their full identity.

Recently, the #Dusk community has seen steady updates, including testnet improvements and more developers exploring its ecosystem. There’s a sense of quiet momentum building.

Do you think a blend of privacy and regulation is the future of blockchain, or will people always prefer fully open networks?
