The Dusk Foundation is a developer of a privacy-centric, compliance-ready Layer 1 blockchain network designed for institutional-grade finance and real-world assets (RWAs). It utilizes zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) for confidential, compliant, and decentralized transactions. The network focuses on regulated DeFi, allowing for secure, on-chain trading. 

Key aspects of the $DUSK Foundation include:

  • Privacy & Compliance: Uses ZKPs to create a privacy-first infrastructure that meets regulatory requirements (KYC/AML) without exposing sensitive data.

  • Technology: Features the Citadel protocol for privacy-preserving credentials and the Piecrust VM for confidential smart contracts.

  • Mission: Aims to bridge traditional finance with blockchain, fostering a regulated, decentralized financial ecosystem.

  • Mainnet: Launched to support on-chain, compliant financial applications. 

Dusk supports the issuance and trading of regulated digital securities and is designed to operate within frameworks like MiCA and the DLT Pilot Regime.
