Dusk is a Layer one blockchain built with regulated finance in mind. Instead of focusing only on open public transactions, they’re designing a system where privacy and compliance work together. I’m interested in it because most blockchains struggle with this balance.
The idea is simple. Financial institutions want the speed and automation of blockchain, but they cannot expose sensitive data or ignore legal rules. Dusk uses advanced cryptography so transactions can be verified without revealing all details to everyone. That means information can stay private while the system still proves everything follows the rules.
Behind the scenes, the network is structured in modules. Some parts secure the chain and finalize transactions. Other parts let developers build applications. This setup supports things like tokenized real world assets and regulated financial products.
The purpose is not to replace the financial system overnight. They’re building infrastructure that helps blockchain fit into the real world more naturally, where privacy, responsibility, and efficiency all matter at the same time.
