The @dusk_foundation is building a next-generation privacy blockchain designed from the ground up for regulated financial markets. Unlike many public ledgers where transactions and holdings are fully visible, Dusk enables confidential balances and transfers through advanced zero-knowledge cryptography while still meeting compliance standards such as MiCA and MiFID II that financial institutions require. This approach opens the door for real-world asset tokenization, confidential institutional DeFi, and permissioned financial products — all maintained with on-chain privacy and auditability. �
