Dusk is designed for the reality of modern finance, where assets carry rules, identities carry obligations, and confidentiality is essential. Its mission is to make public blockchain infrastructure suitable for regulated markets without sacrificing privacy or decentralization. The network achieves this through a modular architecture that separates settlement, data, and execution. This allows the protocol to evolve while keeping settlement final and reliable. Privacy is native, implemented with zero-knowledge proofs that allow participants to prove compliance without revealing sensitive details. A flexible UTXO-style transaction model supports both transparent and confidential flows, depending on the needs of the application. The Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism focuses on fast finality, which is critical for real-world settlement processes. Compliance is treated as a system property, not an external layer. Selective disclosure and explicit acceptance enable regulatory alignment while minimizing data exposure. On top of this foundation, $DUSK supports privacy-enabled tokenization of real-world assets, including securities that require transfer restrictions and reporting logic. Developers can build compliant DeFi applications where rules are enforced automatically and confidentiality is preserved by design. For issuers, this reduces operational complexity. For users, it protects financial privacy. For oversight bodies, it provides cryptographic assurance instead of raw data access. Dusk’s value lies in this balance, turning regulation from friction into programmable infrastructure.
