@Dusk and Regulated Assets: Privacy Without Breaking Compliance
Regulated assets place very different demands on blockchain infrastructure than open, retail-native tokens. Issuance terms, execution logic, and settlement details cannot be exposed publicly without creating legal and operational risk. At the same time, these assets still require verifiability, enforceable rules, and auditability.
This is the space Dusk Foundation is built for.
On @Dusk , confidentiality does not replace compliance, and compliance is not handled off-chain. Smart contracts execute in a confidential environment where sensitive data remains shielded, while compliance rules are enforced as part of transaction validity itself. If eligibility conditions, transfer restrictions, or jurisdictional constraints are not satisfied, execution simply does not occur.
Crucially, this enforcement does not rely on intermediaries or external systems. It is native to the protocol. Settlement also follows the same assumptions, ensuring that privacy does not disappear at the point where ownership and legal finality are determined.
For regulated assets, this design removes a long-standing trade-off. @Dusk shows that privacy and compliance can coexist on-chain without weakening either, making regulated financial activity realistically deployable on blockchain infrastructure.
