Enterprise blockchains have not been effective in the first part of 2020s. Hyperledger was an example of the private ledger that big companies attempted to make as public chains were not appropriate. It was not intended that Ethereum and Solana would conceal information, it was an after-effect. When a manufacturer placed its supply chain on a public chain, the competitors would be able to know whom it paid, the amount of money and at what time.
The Dusk Network solved the problem in 2026. Dusk is a privacy-protective layer that gives businesses the option to work with keeping secrets. Dusk concentrates on business secrets as opposed to mere financial standards.
Beyond Money - the secret of the secret sauce.
Dusk mostly modifies business logic, whereas people talk about tokenized stocks. On the side of every business, there is trade secret, or pricing formula or even a deal with suppliers.
The Piecrust virtual machine of Dusk is based on zero-knowledge computation. It conceals not only the sender and receiver as most privacy coins, but the logic that is running.
Consider a logistics company which conducts a secret auction on shipping contracts. Bids are on display on a public chain and this may cause price fixing. Bids remain anonymous with Dusk; it displays the winner, however, it only discloses the winning bid. Such combination of evidence and confidentiality is the best fit with businesses.
Diffusion issue that excluded big firms out of blockchains is addressed.
Payroll on chain: Organizations may make an immediate payment of salary using Dusk and keep the entire payroll private with recruiters.
Inventory control: Retailers are able to keep an inventory in open book without revealing sales rates to other companies.
Dusk transforms the blockchain into a tower of broadcasting to everyone it becomes a secure room into something that can be discussed without leaving any trace.
Citadel: the Corporate Identification badge.
In Business, one deals with people. B2B reputation is also provided by the identity protocol used by Dusk, Citadel. Corporate Dao can issue credentials with Citadel without submitting sensitive documents. One such zero-knowledge evidence provided by Citadel can be used to demonstrate that a supplier is ISO 9001 certified and within the EU. Customers are able to approve and pay on the spot and the entire certification remains in the server of the supplier. This accelerates B2B business by weeks and milliseconds.
The hybrid future.
The novel concept of Dusk is the demise of the private blockchains. Instead of having to spend money on creating such expensive personal chain, you can take advantage of the public network that Dusk offers, along with personal records.
Dusk combines the security and reliability of one of the public networks and the privacy of a private server. By mid-2026, the champions will not just apply blockchain; their technologies will partially automate the work and still have a competitive advantage. Dusk does not have any competitors.
