Dusk is a layer 1 blockchain designed for regulated and privacy-focused financial applications. Unlike public blockchains that expose transaction details by default, Dusk is built to support confidentiality while remaining auditable by authorized parties such as regulators and auditors.
Dusk is used for compliant DeFi platforms, tokenized real-world assets, and other regulated financial products. These use cases require privacy to protect sensitive financial information, while still allowing verification and compliance checks when required.
Dusk is important because financial institutions cannot adopt blockchain systems that expose sensitive transaction data publicly. By combining privacy and auditability at the protocol level, Dusk enables blockchain-based financial applications that meet real-world regulatory requirements.
