DuskDS is the settlement, consensus, and data availability layer at the foundation of the Dusk architecture. It provides finality, security, and native bridging for all execution environments built on top, including DuskEVM and DuskVM. By modularizing the protocol stack, DuskDS is built to meet institutional demands for compliance, privacy, and performance.
DuskDS includes Rusk (the node implementation) which is powered by Succinct Attestation (PoS-based consensus), Kadcast (P2P networking layer), and the Transfer and Stake Genesis contracts. Together, these elements form a secure, compliant, and composable environment for regulated financial applications@Dusk #dusk $DUSK
Through its dual transaction models (Phoenix and Moonlight), it provides a secure settlement and data availability layer for compliant execution environments (such as DuskEVM and DuskVM). For seamless, trustless transfers between execution layers, DuskDS exposes a native bridge.

Some example use cases Dusk was designed for:

Regulated digital securities

Tokenized equity, debt, or funds with embedded compliance rules
On‑chain corporate actions and transparent yet privacy‑respecting cap tables
Institutional DeFi

Lending, AMMs, and structured products that must enforce KYC/AML
Separation of public market signals from private position details
Payment & settlement rails
@Dusk $DUSK
Confidential payments between institutions
Delivery‑versus‑payment (DvP) settlement of tokenized assets
Self‑sovereign identity & access control

Permissioned venues where access is controlled via verifiable credentials
Compliance checks enforced in smart contracts instead of manual back‑office processes#dusk

DuskEVM mainnet launching in the 2nd week of January: DuskEVM is Dusk’s EVM-compatible application layer, enabling developers and institutions to deploy standard Solidity smart contracts while settling on Dusk’s Layer 1. This removes friction for integrations and unlocks compliant DeFi and RWA applications.

Compliant privacy on EVM via Hedger: Dusk enables privacy-preserving yet auditable transactions on EVM using zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption, designed specifically for regulated financial use cases.@Dusk #dusk $DUSK
