Capital markets operate on trust, discretion, and regulatory certainty. While blockchain technology has promised efficiency and transparency, most public blockchains expose too much information to be viable for institutional use. Transaction histories, balances, and trading behavior are permanently visible—an unacceptable risk for professional market participants.
The Dusk Foundation was established to address this structural flaw by making privacy a core protocol feature rather than an optional layer.
Dusk introduces a financial blockchain where privacy and transparency coexist through cryptography. Using zero-knowledge proofs, institutions can transact confidentially while still proving compliance with regulatory obligations. This enables secure issuance, trading, and settlement of financial instruments without revealing sensitive data to the public or competitors
In traditional finance, privacy is not a luxury—it is a requirement. Portfolio strategies, treasury movements, and settlement flows must remain confidential to prevent market manipulation and operational risk. Dusk mirrors this reality by allowing selective disclosure, where information can be revealed to regulators or counterparties when required, but remains hidden from unauthorized observers.
By aligning blockchain design with the realities of capital markets, Dusk Foundation is creating an environment where regulated financial institutions can finally move core processes on-chain. This approach positions Dusk not as an experimental network, but as infrastructure capable of supporting the next generation of global financial markets. @Dusk $DUSK
