Public blockchains have spurred innovation, but they’ve struggled to win institutional trust due to transparency that clashes with privacy needs. Dusk is tackling this head-on. @Dusk ’s blockchain uses advanced cryptography and zero-knowledge proofs to offer confidential smart contracts and transactions that comply with regulation — a balance that traditional finance has long demanded. Through technologies like Selective Disclosure, auditors and regulators can view what’s necessary without exposing sensitive business data to the public. This approach reduces fraud risk and audit friction while enabling on-chain issuance and trading of real-world assets such as tokenized equities and bonds. The $DUSK token fuels these activities by facilitating transactions and staking, which secures consensus and aligns community incentives with network success. By prioritizing both privacy and compliance, Dusk could be a blueprint for how blockchains integrate with regulated financial systems. #Dusk
