Dusk uses PLONK
A type of zero-knowledge proof, to hide transaction details. You prove you have the funds without showing the amounts or parties involved. This keeps things private yet lets regulators check for compliance if needed.
Think of it like a locked box:
you show the key works without opening the lid. Dusk's version adds "blinding" to signatures, so even contract approvals stay secret. Result? Trades happen fast, with no leaks.
Segregated Byzantine Agreement (SBA) Consensus Mechanism
SBA powers Dusk's agreement process among nodes. It splits tasks into phases to boost speed and cut energy use. Nodes reach finality in seconds, not minutes like in Proof-of-Work chains.
Compared to Proof-of-Stake
SBA handles more traffic without centralizing power. It resists attacks by isolating faulty nodes early. This setup delivers thousands of transactions per second while staying truly decentralized.#Dusk @Dusk $DUSK
