Dusk is a Layer 1 blockchain founded in 2018 with a clear mission: enabling regulated financial applications on-chain without compromising privacy. Unlike general-purpose blockchains, Dusk is purpose-built for institutions, compliant DeFi, and real-world asset tokenization.
The network features a modular architecture, allowing developers to build financial products that can adapt to regulatory requirements. Privacy is integrated by design, while auditability remains possible for authorized entities, addressing a key challenge in institutional blockchain adoption.
Dusk supports use cases such as tokenized securities, compliant lending protocols, and on-chain financial instruments that require confidentiality. This makes it particularly attractive to banks, asset managers, and enterprises exploring blockchain solutions in regulated environments.
By embedding privacy, compliance, and transparency into its core design, Dusk creates a bridge between traditional finance and decentralized systems. As real-world assets and institutional DeFi continue to move on-chain, Dusk positions itself as infrastructure tailored for regulation-aware Web3 finance.$DUSK
