#Dusk — a privacy-first Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built to serve regulated financial markets with confidentiality and compliance. Unlike many public chains, #Dusk introduces confidential smart contracts and zero-knowledge technologies that enable secure, private execution of transactions and applications. This approach is foundational to real-world asset tokenization and institutional-grade financial services. With its modular architecture, #Dusk supports issuance, trading, and settlement of digital securities in line with regulatory frameworks like EU MiCA, empowering institutions and developers alike. The native $DUSK token fuels the network — from consensus participation and paying gas fees to incentivizing validators and supporting governance. Backed by the vision and stewardship of @Dusk , #Dusk is carving out a niche that bridges traditional finance and decentralized blockchain innovation. As developers embrace DuskEVM compatibility and new use cases emerge on the network, $DUSK has the potential to redefine privacy-oriented finance on the blockchain. Keep an eye on #Dusk as it scales and expands its ecosystem, pushing for broader adoption in regulated markets
