Dusk Foundation is building a layer 1 blockchain designed for regulated finance. The idea starts with a simple question. How can financial systems use blockchain without exposing private data or breaking laws.
Most blockchains are fully transparent. That works for open systems but not for real finance. Dusk takes a different path. They’re building privacy directly into the core while keeping the system auditable when needed. I’m seeing this as a more realistic approach to blockchain adoption.
Behind the scenes, Dusk uses cryptography that allows transactions to be verified without revealing sensitive information. The network checks proofs instead of public data. Validators can secure the chain without seeing balances or identities. This protects users and institutions at the same time.
The purpose of Dusk is not to fight regulation but to work with it. They’re creating infrastructure where compliant DeFi and tokenized real world assets can exist safely. It’s a long term vision focused on trust, not noise.
