Dusk Network ($DUSK) is a Layer 1 for regulated finance where privacy means controlled visibility on a public record. Transaction details can stay confidential while authorized parties verify compliance through cryptographic proofs. Banks, issuers, and supervisors share the same settlement truth without sharing the same raw data.
For tokenized real-world assets (RWA) and compliant DeFi, disclosure is often the bottleneck. Selective disclosure with zero-knowledge proofs can confirm eligibility, limits, and provenance without exposing identity, positions, or counterparties to the public. When a regulator needs detail, access should be targeted and auditable.
This comes with overhead in computation, key custody, and recovery procedures. It also demands clearer operational roles across issuers, custodians, and compliance teams. Dusk’s modular architecture separates the base chain from disclosure policy so rules can adjust per jurisdiction without destabilizing settlement. Founded in 2018, Dusk is built for privacy and auditability to coexist in day to day financial flows.
