Blockchain adoption in regulated markets has been slow due to privacy and compliance challenges. @dusk_foundation is addressing this gap by building the Dusk Network, a Layer-1 blockchain specifically designed for regulated finance. Using zero-knowledge cryptography and selective disclosure, Dusk enables confidential smart contracts while still allowing institutions to meet regulatory requirements. This unique balance makes itpossible to tokenize real-world assets such as securities and bonds in a compliant manner. The native token, $DUSK , powers transactions, staking, and network security, making it a core pillar of the ecosystem. As global regulations mature, #Dusk stands out as a blockchain built not for hype, but for long-term institutional adoption and real economic utility.
