As decentralized finance grows, the demand for compliance and privacy is increasing. @Dusk n created $DUSK to meet this exact need. #dusk enables private smart contracts, confidential asset transfers, and regulation-ready financial workflows using zero-knowledge cryptography. The network balances the need for confidentiality with verifiability, making it appealing to institutions and serious developers alike. With DuskEVM compatibility, Ethereum-style smart contracts can be deployed on a privacy-first blockchain, bridging traditional DeFi development tools with real-world regulatory compliance.
