Dusk is shaking up finance. They’re tearing down old-school systems with blockchain, making it easy for companies to issue securities right on-chain. Costs drop, especially for small businesses, and settlements happen instantly—something traditional finance just can’t offer.
During a recent AMA, CTO Hein Dauven talked about Dusk’s privacy features. Instead of blanket anonymity that regulators hate, Dusk uses view keys for audits—so it’s transparent when it needs to be, but still private. That’s a big reason Dusk stands out, especially as places like Dubai crack down on anonymous coins.
Dusk isn’t new to all this. They’ve been working on zero-knowledge tech since 2018, building out tools in Rust—like Plonk and Poseidon hashing—that power privacy for projects across the space. Zcash uses similar ideas, and even Vitalik’s talked about bringing this stuff to Ethereum.
Staking is also a big deal here. Native liquid staking on Dusk pays 23% APR, and if you go through partners like Soju—who hold a decent chunk of stakes—it can hit around 30%. You keep full control over your assets and your yield. No more middlemen. Error rates in traditional finance usually float between 5-10%, but Dusk cuts that down to almost nothing. There’s even talk of this bumping up GDP by more than 2%.
If you’re building in crypto, this is the kind of infrastructure that changes the game for tokenized assets. Dive in.
