As real-world assets (RWAs) move on-chain, one major challenge continues to block institutional adoption: privacy. Traditional finance cannot operate on fully transparent public ledgers without exposing sensitive client data, trade details, or compliance information. This is exactly where @Dusk stands out.
Dusk Network is purpose-built for regulated financial markets, combining blockchain transparency with
privacy-preserving technology. Through innovations like zero-knowledge proofs and ZK-credentials, Dusk enables what it calls Auditable Privacy. This allows institutions to prove compliance with KYC/AML and MiCA regulations without revealing underlying personal or transactional data on-chain.
With the Citadel SDK, developers and financial institutions can build compliant DeFi, tokenized securities, and RWA platforms where privacy is enforced by design—not added as an afterthought.
The $DUSK token itself is not just a utility asset — it serves multiple roles within the network, including paying transaction fees, securing the consensus mechanism, and providing incentives for network participation. As Dusk gains adoption for regulated decentralized finance (RegDeFi) and real-world asset tokenization, $DUSK could become an essential gateway for institutions entering the blockchain era
