🧠 1. What is Dusk Network and the DUSK token?
Dusk Network is a layer-1 blockchain focused on enabling native on-chain regulated financial assets with privacy and automatic compliance. In other words, it aims to be more than just a smart contract platform like Ethereum; it's an infrastructure where financial instruments (securities, debt, etc.) can be issued, settled, and traded legally on the blockchain.
