$DUSK is the native token of the Dusk Network, a public, permissionless Layer-1 blockchain designed especially for regulated financial markets and real-world assets (RWAs). It aims to let institutions issue, trade, and settle digital securities in full compliance with regulations like MiFID II, MiCA, and the DLT Pilot Regime in the .
2. Core features of the network
Privacy-focused technology: Uses zero-knowledge proofs and modular architecture (e.g., DuskDS, DuskEVM) to keep data private while still auditable and compliant.
Settlement & compliance: Separates settlement from execution so regulated instruments can be handled on-chain with automatic KYC/AML enforcement.
Proof-of-Stake consensus: Validators stake DUSK to secure the network and earn rewards, making it more energy efficient than older Proof-of-Work chains.
3. Token utility and economics
The DUSK token is used for staking, paying transaction fees and gas, deploying smart contracts, and rewards for network participants.
Initial supply is 500 million tokens, with a scheduled emission over time up to a maximum of 1 billion.
It’s traded on many major exchanges and has active market volume and price volatility typical of crypto assets.
4. Positioning & potential
Dusk stands out by targeting institutional use cases (security tokenization, regulated asset transfer) rather than only retail trading or DeFi.
Its privacy and compliance tech could help bridge traditional finance and blockchain. However, performance, adoption by real institutions, and competition from other smart-contract platforms are key factors to watch.
5. Risks to note
Like all cryptocurrencies, DUSK prices are highly volatile.
Regulatory landscapes and actual institutional adoption are uncertain and may affect long-term value .
