$DUSK Vault: Institutional-Grade Custody Solutions
In the world of regulated finance and RWAs, custody isn't just storage--it's the foundation of trust, compliance, and security. Enter Dusk Vault, the game-changing custody solution from @Dusk on the Dusk Network ($DUSK), built specifically for institutions that demand zero compromises.
Launched in early 2025 (post-mainnet in January 2025), Dusk Vault stands out as the first zero-trust, decentralized custody service powered by partnerships with licensed financial institutions--including European banks, CEXs, and traditional exchanges like NPEX (a Dutch MTF-regulated platform).
Key highlights that make it truly institutional-grade:
Zero-Trust Architecture Powered by Cordial Systems' self-hosted, MPC (multi-party computation) tech via Cordial Treasury. Institutions retain full control--no third-party SaaS reliance, no vendor lock-in. On-premise deployment ensures operational resilience.
Unparalleled Security & Compliance Designed for EU regs like MiCA, MiFID II, and DLT Pilot Regime. Combines ZK-powered privacy (confidential transactions & smart contracts) with auditable proofs perfect for tokenized securities, RWAs, commodities, and crypto. Keeps strategies and flows hidden while enabling regulatory oversight when required.
Multi-Institution Participation Multiple licensed entities serve as infrastructure partners and clients. NPEX was an early adopter/client, validating the setup for real-world RWA custody on-chain.
Broad Asset Support Custody for cryptocurrencies, tokenized assets, securities, and more--bridging TradFi and DeFi seamlessly.
Self-Hosted Control Institutions manage keys and operations independently, reducing counterparty risk and enhancing bankruptcy-remote protection.
