While many projects talk about "privacy," @Dusk has built a custom engine to deliver it at scale. The secret is the Piecrust VM.
Unlike standard virtual machines, Piecrust is a WASM-based engine specifically optimized for Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP). It allows $DUSK to execute smart contracts where transaction details are hidden from the public but remain fully auditable by regulators.
Key technical differentiators:
Succinct Attestation: A unique PoS consensus that provides near-instant finality—crucial for financial markets where trades cannot be "rolled back."
Hedger Protocol: A breakthrough that allows for "auditable privacy," balancing the need for confidentiality with strict MiCA compliance.
Native ZK-Identity: With the Citadel framework, your compliance status is verified at the protocol level, not by a centralized middleman.
Dusk isn't just another Layer-1; it’s a specialized financial stack designed for the trillion-dollar RWA market. 📈
