Tradfi’s old-school systems still mess up stock transfers way too often—think 5-10% error rates. Dusk isn’t having it. They’re settling trades in seconds, not days, and cutting down costs and risks for everyone.
During a recent Binance AMA, CTO Hein Dauven broke down how Dusk keeps things private, but not shady. Their selective privacy lets auditors check things with view keys, so they avoid the regulatory drama that killed off anonymous coins in places like Dubai. At the same time, Dusk keeps your trading strategies safe from front-runners.
Right now, over 206 million DUSK (that’s 36% of the whole supply) is staked, locking down the network with a 23% native APR. If you’re staking through Soju partners, you’re looking at closer to 30%, since they hold a big chunk themselves. All this power backs real-world assets, like NPEX’s €300 million tokenized portfolio, and pushes DeFi forward—no middlemen needed.
Developers, pay attention: Dusk’s EVM Mainnet means you can run your Solidity apps, but with Hedger’s ZK-encrypted privacy baked in. That kind of efficiency has the potential to bump up GDP by more than 2%, just by making markets work better.
