Public DeFi platforms are designed for open participation. Anyone can interact, observe activity, and track transactions. While this openness works for experiments and retail use, it creates serious barriers for institutions.
Financial institutions operate under strict rules. They must protect client data, manage risk, and follow legal requirements. Using systems where all activity is public by default is often not an option. This is why many institutions cannot use public DeFi, even if the technology is advanced.
#Dusk is designed with these limits in mind. Instead of forcing institutions to adapt to open DeFi models, Dusk builds infrastructure that fits institutional needs. Confidentiality is not added later; it is part of the core design.
On #dusk institutions can interact with assets and smart contracts without exposing sensitive details to the public. This includes balances, counterparties, and internal logic. At the same time, rules can still be enforced and verified.
Another important factor is control. Institutions need to know who can access information and under what conditions. $DUSK supports selective disclosure, which allows information to be shared only with authorized parties such as regulators or auditors.
Public DeFi often assumes that transparency creates trust. In regulated finance, trust comes from enforceable rules and clear accountability. #dusk aligns with this reality by focusing on compliance-ready design rather than maximum openness.
This does not mean @Dusk removes oversight. Oversight still exists, but it is intentional and controlled. Institutions can meet regulatory obligations without turning their operations into public data streams.
For institutions that cannot operate in public DeFi environments, Dusk offers a different path. It provides blockchain infrastructure that respects both financial rules and operational limits.
