Most blockchains were designed for open experimentation, not regulated finance. Dusk Foundation takes the opposite approach by treating compliance as a design requirement, not a constraint. Built as a Layer 1 for regulated markets, Dusk enables privacy without sacrificing auditability, a balance institutions require. Rather than masking activity, Dusk supports selective disclosure, allowing regulators access when needed while protecting sensitive data. Its modular architecture allows compliant DeFi and real-world asset tokenization to evolve without breaking legal assumptions. With DuskEVM, developers deploy familiar Solidity contracts that settle on a privacy-aware base layer, reducing friction for adoption. DuskTrade, developed with regulated exchange NPEX, targets over €300M in tokenized securities, proving real execution. Hedger enforces cryptographic privacy by design. This positions $DUSK as infrastructure for regulated on-chain finance. Follow @Dusk #dusk
