#dusk $DUSK @Dusk Layer of Core Settlement

For all financial transactions on the Dusk Network, DuskDS serves as the last layer of settlement. Tokenized securities, private institutional DeFi, and compliant on-chain markets all end up on DuskDS. This removes uncertainty and ensures deterministic finality, which is crucial for financial institutions functioning within regulatory Dusk frameworks.Dusk, a layer 1 blockchain created for regulated and privacy-focused financial infrastructure, was established in 2018. Dusk's modular architecture, which incorporates privacy and auditability by design, offers the basis for tokenized real-world assets, compliant DeFi, and institutional-grade financial applications.

DuskDS offers a neutral settlement foundation that various execution environments (like DuskEVM) can rely on, in contrast to application-specific chains. This division preserves settlement security while enabling innovation at the application layer.
