Introduction: Privacy Meets Regulation

Privacy and compliance have long been treated as opposites in blockchain. Public ledgers offer transparency but sacrifice confidentiality, while private systems often struggle with regulatory acceptance. Dusk Network is changing that narrative.

With the public testing launch of Hedger Alpha, Dusk introduces a breakthrough: compliant privacy on EVM—a system where transactions remain confidential to the public while still being auditable by regulators when required.

This marks a major milestone not just for Dusk, but for the broader future of decentralized finance and regulated on-chain markets.
