Dusk is building a Layer-1 blockchain that tackles one of the biggest challenges in crypto: how to bring real-world finance on-chain while preserving privacy and complying with regulations. The project, led by @Dusk , uses zero-knowledge cryptography to enable confidential smart contracts and private transactions, making it possible to tokenize securities and other regulated assets without exposing sensitive data. This is a major step toward institutional adoption, because it offers a way to balance transparency with confidentiality. The native token $DUSK is integral to the network, powering gas fees, staking, and governance, while helping secure the ecosystem. With its focus on compliance, scalability, and privacy, Dusk is building infrastructure that could support the next wave of real-world asset tokenization and privacy-preserving DeFi. #dusk
