to optimize performance and privacy while retaining regulatory compatibility:
a. DuskDS (Settlement & Privacy Layer)
Handles transaction settlement, data availability, and privacy-enabled workflows.
Uses zero-knowledge cryptography (ZKPs) to protect transaction details while allowing selective disclosure for auditing.
b. DuskEVM (Execution Layer)
An Ethereum-compatible execution environment where developers can deploy Solidity-based smart contracts.
$DUSK serves as the native gas token in this environment.
c. Rusk ZK-VM
A zero-knowledge virtual machine, enabling private, efficient smart contract execution with configurable privacy levels.
d. Consensus Protocol
#Dusk uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS)-based mechanism with privacy-enhanced features, designed for high throughput, fast finality, low energy consumption, and scalability.
Together, these components allow confidential smart contracts, regulated asset issuance, and secure enterprise workflows all on a single platform.
