Decentralized finance cannot reach global adoption without solving the problem of data exposure. Most blockchains are transparent by default, which limits their usability for businesses and regulated entities. Dusk Network takes a different approach by embedding privacy directly into its protocol. With @Dusk leading development, the network allows developers to build confidential smart contracts that protect user data while remaining auditable when required. The $DUSK token supports consensus, staking, and network security, forming the backbone of this privacy-first ecosystem. As demand grows for compliant DeFi and tokenized real-world assets, Dusk positions itself as a practical solution rather than an experimental one. #dusk
