designed to bring traditional financial markets on-chain with confidentiality and compliance 🔐💼 At its core, the network uses advanced zero-knowledge proofs to keep transaction details private while still enabling authorized auditability for institutions, regulators, and compliant workflows — a major step beyond typical public blockchains. Dusk’s modular architecture includes DuskDS for settlement and data availability and an EVM-compatible layer where smart contracts can run with privacy primitives built-in, allowing developers to launch confidential DeFi, lending, and tokenized asset platforms with familiar tools. This makes it possible to issue and manage tokenized securities, bonds, and other real-world assets on a decentralized ledger that respects both privacy and regulatory frameworks like MiCA and MiFID II. The native $DUSK token powers the ecosystem as gas for transactions, staking to secure the network, and participation in governance decisions that shape its evolution. With its unique combination of privacy, compliance, and performance, #Dusk is bridging the gap between traditional finance and blockchain innovation, giving institutions and everyday users a framework to transact confidentially and compliantly on-chain.
