I’m often asked why many financial institutions still hesitate to use public blockchains, and the answer is usually simple.
They cannot expose sensitive data. They cannot allow competitors or the public to see trading activity, balances, or client flows. This is where Dusk comes in.
They’re building a Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for regulated and privacy focused financial use.
The idea behind Dusk is that transactions should be confidential by default but still provable when required.
They’re using zero knowledge cryptography so the network can verify that everything is correct without revealing the actual details. This allows institutions to settle trades, issue tokenized assets, and run financial applications without sacrificing privacy.
The system is built so that regulators and auditors can still access information when legally necessary through selective disclosure.
I’m seeing this as a practical bridge between blockchain technology and real world finance where privacy and compliance must work together.
