#dusk $DUSK
Dusk feels like the blockchain you’d pick when you can’t afford your transactions to become public gossip.
It’s aimed at the parts of finance where privacy is normal (clients, pricing, positions), but where you still need a clean trail when auditors or regulators come knocking.
The clever bit is the build: it separates the “base rails” (data + settlement) from the “apps layer” (EVM execution), so upgrades and compliance constraints don’t turn into a constant trade-off.
That lets institutions move value with confidentiality, while still being able to prove what happened without exposing everything to everyone.
On December 10, 2025, Dusk activated DuskDS as the foundational data/settlement layer, putting real infrastructure behind the modular roadmap.
And with 1,000,000,000 DUSK max supply (about 492,999,999 circulating), the network’s economics are clear enough that real usage will be hard to hand-wave away.
If tokenized real-world assets and compliant DeFi are going to grow up, it’ll likely be on rails like this—quiet, strict, and built for environments where “trust me” is never enough.
