Modular Architecture and Institutional Needs
Dusk’s protocol is structured around a modular stack to support regulated applications at scale. At the base, DuskDS handles settlement, consensus, and data availability, providing a foundation for institutional workflows.
On top sits DuskEVM, an EVM-compatible execution layer for smart contracts, and a forthcoming DuskVM for privacy-focused applications.
This modular separation speeds integration with wallets, bridges, and exchanges, while maintaining regulatory compliance under a unified framework.
