@Dusk is honestly one of the most interesting projects right now if you care about actual privacy in crypto/finance.
Most blockchains are basically public spreadsheets anyone can look up your wallet and see exactly what you hold, what you sent, who you sent it to. Not great if you value even basic financial privacy.
does the opposite.
It uses some seriously clever zero-knowledge tech so you can:
- send tokens
- run smart contracts
- issue tokenized securities / RWAs
and nobody sees the amounts, the counterparties, or anything sensitive unless you choose to reveal it.
What I really like is how it doesn't try to fight regulators it actually tries to work with them. Institutions can finally get the privacy they need to use blockchain without breaking compliance rules, while regular people get real confidentiality instead of pretending KYC = privacy.
It feels like one of the few serious attempts to make private + regulated finance actually happen on chain.
Kind of refreshing in 2025/26 when everything else is still screaming “transparency!!” at full volume.
Dusk is quietly building the version where privacy isn’t the enemy of regulation it’s just part of the design.
