DeFi’s early growth proved demand—but also exposed limitations. Full transparency enables front-running, data leakage, and regulatory friction. These issues prevent serious institutional participation. Dusk Foundation introduces a new category: confidential DeFi.
With zero-knowledge smart contracts, DeFi applications on Dusk can keep balances, strategies, and counterparties private while remaining auditable. Regulators can verify compliance without accessing public transaction data. This unlocks private lending, secure swaps, structured products, and asset-backed DeFi that institutions can actually use.
$DUSK powers a network optimized for sustainability rather than short-term yield cycles. Dusk does not reject decentralization—it refines it for real financial use. As DeFi matures, protocols that cannot support privacy and compliance will stall. Dusk is building the version of DeFi that survives regulation and scales globally.
