@Dusk Network was founded in 2018 with a clear purpose to support finance on blockchain without forcing everything into public view. It is a layer 1 network built for regulated markets where privacy and accountability both matter. Many blockchains show all activity by default which can be uncomfortable for people and impossible for institutions. Dusk Network takes a different path by allowing transactions and financial activity to remain private while still being verifiable when rules require it. I am seeing this as a response to how real finance works where discretion is normal and oversight still exists. The network is designed so value can move securely while respecting laws audits and responsibilities.
The system uses a modular structure where settlement and application execution are clearly defined so the foundation stays stable as new tools are built on top. It relies on proof of stake to secure the network and create long term incentives for honest participation. Privacy is built into how transactions work so value can be transferred without exposing balances or activity to the entire world while the network still confirms everything is valid. This approach supports institutional grade applications compliant finance and tokenized real world assets that need rules and permissions to function correctly. Over time Dusk Network aims to become a place where serious finance can operate on chain with confidence privacy and trust working together instead of against each other.
