The @dusk_foundation is building Dusk, a next-generation privacy-centric Layer-1 blockchain specifically designed to bridge DeFi with regulated financial markets. Unlike many chains that focus only on transparent DeFi or pure privacy, Dusk combines zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) with built-in compliance, enabling institutions to issue, trade, and settle real-world assets (RWAs) like securities and bonds on-chain while still meeting strict regulatory requirements such as EU MiFID II, MiCA, and DLT Pilot Regime standards. �
