Dusk is a Layer 1 blockchain built for regulated, privacy‑centric financial infrastructure, designed to bring real‑world finance onto blockchain without sacrificing confidentiality or legal compliance. Founded in 2018, Dusk combines advanced cryptography like zero‑knowledge proofs with a modular architecture that supports confidential transactions, native regulatory enforcement, and tokenization of real‑world assets (RWAs) such as securities and funds all while preserving auditability when required by regulators.
Dusk’s modular stack separates core functions with DuskDS handling settlement, security, and data availability, and DuskEVM providing an Ethereum‑compatible execution environment enabling familiar development workflows alongside enterprise‑grade privacy and performance. This approach lets the network serve as a decentralized market infrastructure (DeMI) for regulated products and confidential financial applications.
In short, Dusk is carving out a distinct niche in the blockchain ecosystem: a privacy‑enabled, compliance‑ready Layer 1 where regulated financial workflows can be executed, settled, and audited on‑chain bringing institutional finance and decentralized innovation closer together.
