Regulated markets cannot rely on blockchains built for anonymity or speculation. Dusk Foundation was created to solve this structural mismatch by designing a Layer 1 where privacy and regulation coexist by default. Instead of full transparency or complete opacity, Dusk enables selective disclosure, allowing institutions to meet compliance requirements while protecting sensitive financial data. Its modular architecture supports compliant DeFi and real world asset tokenization without forcing rigid upgrades or legal uncertainty. With DuskEVM, developers can deploy familiar Solidity smart contracts that settle on a privacy aware base layer, reducing integration friction. DuskTrade, built with regulated exchange NPEX, aims to bring over €300M in tokenized securities on chain, proving real execution. Through Hedger, privacy is enforced cryptographically and remains auditable. This positions $DUSK as infrastructure for regulated on chain finance. @Dusk n #dusk
