@Dusk Network and the Path to Regulated Onchain Finance
Founded in 2018, Dusk Network set out to build something most blockchains avoided: a Layer 1 designed specifically for regulated, privacy-preserving financial markets. Rather than chasing speculation or short-term trends, Dusk focused on the long-term needs of real financial infrastructure—privacy, accountability, and compliance working together by design.
Dusk recognizes that finance cannot function without confidentiality, nor can it scale without verifiability. Its protocol embeds privacy and compliance directly at the core, enabling confidential transactions with selective disclosure for regulators and auditors. This balance makes Dusk uniquely suited for institutional DeFi and real-world asset tokenization.
With a modular architecture separating consensus, execution, and privacy, the network is built to evolve without sacrificing security or regulatory alignment. Fast finality and predictable settlement support financial-grade applications, while smart contracts enforce legal constraints directly onchain.
Powered by the DUSK token, the network aligns incentives across validators, developers, and users positioning Dusk not for hype, but for the future of regulated global finance.
