The evolution of blockchain is moving quickly, and @Dusk is at the forefront of blending privacy, compliance, and real-world financial utility. As a Layer 1 protocol built for regulated finance, Dusk uses zero-knowledge proof cryptography to enable confidential transactions and smart contracts that protect user data without sacrificing transparency where it matters. This unique approach allows institutions to issue, trade, and settle real-world assets in a way that meets modern regulatory standards like MiCA and MiFID II, while still benefiting from blockchain’s decentralization and efficiency. The native token $DUSK powers network fees, staking rewards, and governance, incentivizing participation and securing consensus across the ecosystem.
