Dusk Foundation is a crypto project built for a future where blockchain infrastructure can support real financial systems without forcing people to give up privacy. It is designed as a Layer 1 network focused on regulated finance, meaning it accepts that rules, audits, and reporting are part of reality, not obstacles to dodge.
The network is structured around a strong settlement layer that provides fast and clear finality, which is critical for financial use cases where uncertainty creates risk. On top of that settlement layer, Dusk supports two transaction models. One is public, for cases where transparency is required. The other is private, using cryptography to hide balances and transaction details while still proving correctness. I’m mentioning this because it shows they’re not ideological about privacy, they’re practical about it.
Dusk is used as a foundation for compliant financial applications, tokenized assets, and systems that need both confidentiality and accountability. Developers can build without reinventing compliance logic, and institutions can participate without exposing everything publicly. Long term, the goal is to become a reliable settlement layer where regulated digital assets and private financial activity can exist together. They’re aiming for infrastructure that lasts, not short term excitement.
