Many blockchains aim for mass adoption, but few are purpose-built for institutions. @Dusk focuses specifically on regulated financial infrastructure, making its ecosystem fundamentally different. With $DUSK at the center, the network supports confidential smart contracts, deterministic settlement, and rule-based financial logic. These features are critical for banks, asset issuers, and enterprises that cannot operate in fully transparent or unpredictable environments. Dusk’s design acknowledges that institutional adoption requires more than speed or low fees — it requires legal clarity, privacy controls, and technical reliability. By solving these challenges at the protocol level, Dusk positions itself as a long-term backbone for compliant on-chain finance rather than a short-term trend. #Dusk
