I’m going deeper into how Dusk is designed and why it exists. Dusk is a Layer 1 blockchain focused on financial infrastructure where privacy is treated as a default safety feature, not an optional add-on. The system supports both public and shielded transactions, which allows users and applications to decide when transparency is helpful and when confidentiality is necessary. This matters for things like salaries, contracts, funds, and tokenized assets that should not expose sensitive details on a public ledger. The network uses Proof of Stake with selected participants validating and finalizing blocks, aiming for settlement that feels final and reliable. Developers can build regulated applications by embedding rules directly into how assets move, instead of adding compliance later as a patch. I’m interested because they’re designing for long-term use, not short-term attention. The goal is a blockchain where regulated assets can operate on-chain without forcing people to give up privacy just to participate.
