Unlike traditional public blockchains where all data is transparent, Dusk introduces selective disclosure through advanced cryptography such as zero-knowledge proofs. This allows transactions and smart contracts to remain private while still being verifiable by authorized parties. This design is essential for institutions, asset issuers, and enterprises that want to leverage blockchain technology without exposing sensitive financial data.
The native token $DUSK plays a vital role in maintaining and securing the network. It is used for transaction fees, staking, validator incentives, and governance. By staking $DUSK, participants help secure the blockchain while aligning their incentives with the long-term growth of the ecosystem. This creates a sustainable economic model rather than one driven purely by speculation
