🧠 1. What is Dusk Network and the DUSK token?
Dusk Network is a layer 1 blockchain focused on enabling regulated financial assets natively on chain, with privacy and automated compliance. In other words, it is not intended to be just a smart contract platform like Ethereum, but rather an infrastructure where financial instruments (securities, debt, etc.) can be issued, settled, and traded legally on the chain.

DOCUMENTATION +1
The protocol uses zero-knowledge proofs to preserve privacy, which is critical if you want to operate financial assets without exposing sensitive data.
