Dusk (DUSK) is a privacy-focused Layer-1 blockchain specifically engineered for regulated finance and the tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA).
Unlike many "privacy coins" that focus on anonymity to bypass oversight, Dusk is built for "auditable privacy"—allowing institutions to keep sensitive data confidential while remaining compliant with financial regulations (like Europe's MiCA).
🛠️ Key Technology
Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs): Dusk uses ZK technology (via its Hedger module) to prove a transaction is valid without revealing the sender, receiver, or amount to the public.
DuskDS & DuskEVM: The network features a modular architecture. DuskDS handles data availability, while DuskEVM provides Ethereum compatibility, allowing developers to port Solidity contracts over with added privacy features.
SBA Consensus: It uses Segregated Byzantine Agreement (SBA), a private Proof-of-Stake mechanism that offers instant finality (around 2 seconds), which is critical for high-stakes financial trading.
