Blockchain technology has changed how we think about finance, but most public chains expose every transaction to all users. @dusk_foundation takes a different path by building a Layer-1 blockchain that supports confidential transactions and smart contracts while respecting regulatory requirements. Dusk uses advanced zero-knowledge cryptography to let institutions and individuals keep transaction details private without sacrificing security or compliance. This balance is crucial for real-world financial applications like tokenized securities and institutional DeFi, where privacy and law-abiding participation must coexist. The $DUSK SK token fuels network fees, staking, and governance, enabling participants to contribute to the protocol’s security and growth. As blockchain adoption expands beyond simple payments to regulated markets, #Dusk is positioned as a foundational infrastructure that connects the worlds of decentralized technology and traditional finance. #Dusk
