$Dusk Foundation Overview (as of February 9, 2026)
The Dusk Foundation (@DuskFoundation on X) is the organization behind Dusk Network, a privacy-focused Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for regulated financial markets and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. It emphasizes compliant privacy using zero-knowledge proofs (ZK), enabling confidential yet verifiable transactions that meet regulations like EU's MiCA, MiFID II, and DLT Pilot Regime.
Key Features and Mission:
Privacy-first infrastructure: Allows institutions to issue, trade, and settle tokenized securities (e.g., bonds, equities) on-chain with selective disclosure—prove compliance without revealing sensitive data.
Dual-layer architecture: Includes DuskDS (data-availability + settlement) and DuskEVM (EVM-compatible app layer for familiar developer tools).
