The promise of decentralized finance has always been twofold: open, permissionless access paired with the efficiency and innovation of blockchain. Yet, for a significant segment of the global economy regulated institutions mainstream DeFi has remained a spectator sport.

It’s not that institutions are unwilling; the infrastructure simply hasn't been built for their needs.
This is the precise and monumental gap that @Dusk is bridging with its pioneering Layer-1 blockchain, purpose-built for confidential, compliant smart contracts. $DUSK isn't just another digital asset; it’s the fuel and governance token for a network designed from the ground up to serve as the secure, private settlement layer for institutional finance.
