Dusk is carving out a unique place in the blockchain world with its focus on institutional-grade privacy and compliance. Unlike other public chains where transaction history is fully visible, Dusk uses advanced zero-knowledge proof cryptography to enable confidential smart contracts and shielded transactions that protect both user identities and sensitive financial data. This approach allows businesses and financial institutions to move traditional workflows on-chain with full regulatory compliance and privacy preserved. The DUSK token ($DUSK ) plays a key role within this ecosystem, serving as gas for transactions, a staking token for consensus, and a governance tool for confidential smart contracts. With @Dusk _foundation building out both the DuskDS settlement layer and DuskEVM execution environment, developers can use familiar EVM tools while benefiting from Dusk’s privacy and compliance features. #dusk
