Dusk is a next‑generation Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for privacy‑centric, compliant financial systems that bridge traditional markets and decentralized technology. Built by @Dusk , Dusk uses advanced zero‑knowledge proofs to enable confidential transactions and shielded smart contracts that keep balances and transfer data private while still being auditable when needed—an essential feature for institutions and regulated markets. Unlike typical public blockchains where all activity is visible, Dusk’s privacy‑first architecture ensures that sensitive financial operations can run on‑chain without compromising competitive or legal requirements. �

At the heart of this ecosystem is the native token $DUSK , which functions as both the gas token for executing operations on DuskEVM and as a utility asset that supports network security through staking and participation in governance. Developers can build compliant DeFi applications, confidential tokenized securities, and real‑world asset (RWA) marketplaces thanks to Dusk’s modular stack that separates settlement and execution layers while maintaining performance and regulatory readiness. �
