Es vēlos jums pastāstīt par kaut ko, kas šķiet vairāk kā cerība nekā tehnoloģija. To sauc par Walrus. Sākumā es domāju, ka tas ir tikai vēl viens blokārkārtas projekts, bet jo vairāk es uzzināju par to, jo vairāk sapratu, ka tas mēģina atrisināt problēmu, kas skar visus mūs. Mūsu digitālā dzīve ir visur: fotogrāfijas, video, dokumenti, darbs, atmiņas un personīgi radītie ieguvumi, taču mēs parasti tos atstājam citu rokās. Kas notiek, ja serveris izslēdzas vai pakalpojums pazūd? Šī baža ir patiesa, un Walrus mēģina to iznīcināt. Walrus izveido sistēmu, lai glabātu datus decentralizētā veidā. Lielus failus, ko viņi sauc par blokiem, var droši glabāt daudzās datoros, kamēr blokārkārtas uzraudzība tos atzīmē. Jūs vienmēr zināt, ka jūsu faili ir droši, pilni un atgūstami. Tas nav tikai tehnoloģija, tas ir uzticība, īpašumtiesības un miers prātā.

There is something profoundly human about wanting to protect what is ours while also being able to participate in the world with confidence and fairness. When I learned about Dusk Foundation and the Dusk Network I felt like I was finally hearing a project that wasn’t shouting hype or chasing quick gains, but instead trying to build something that respects people’s privacy, respects real laws, and still unlocks new possibilities for everyday finance. Dusk is a blockchain born from the belief that privacy and compliance should not be enemies but partners in shaping the future of money and assets. This belief drives every part of what they are building and it feels deeply rooted in both logic and empathy, making the project feel uniquely grounded in human needs.

At its core, Dusk is a layer one blockchain designed for regulated financial markets and real world assets. It was created to allow institutions such as banks and financial firms to issue, trade, and settle assets like stocks, bonds, and other regulated financial instruments on a blockchain, but without exposing confidential information to the public eye. This mission stems from a simple yet profound insight that most blockchains today broadcast everything to everyone, which is fine for some digital tokens but completely unworkable for real financial systems where privacy is essential. Dusk’s founders recognized early that privacy is not about hiding wrongdoing but about protecting fundamental human and business information while still enabling security and trust.

Most blockchains are either completely transparent, meaning anyone can see every transaction anyone ever made, or they try to be anonymous in ways that make them unusable for regulated institutions. Dusk takes a different path by weaving zero knowledge proofs — a powerful cryptographic technique — into its fundamentals. Zero knowledge proofs allow a person to prove something is true without revealing the underlying details. For example, you could prove that you are old enough to access something without revealing your actual birth date. On Dusk, this allows financial transactions to be verified without revealing sensitive balances or transaction histories on a public ledger. In everyday terms it means that your financial life stays private unless you choose to share specific information with someone who needs to see it, such as a regulator or auditor.

But privacy alone would not make Dusk valuable to regulated markets. What makes Dusk feel truly human and meaningful is that it was built with compliance and legal requirements already included in the design, not as an add‑on. The team behind Dusk foresaw that regulations like the European Union’s MiCA, MiFID II, and DLT Pilot Regime would one day shape how blockchain technology could be used for regulated assets. They were right, and because of that foresight, Dusk is one of the first blockchains explicitly designed to speak both the language of decentralized ledgers and the language of regulated financial systems. That means investors, companies, and regulators can all participate without feeling they are compromising important legal or ethical standards.

The architecture of Dusk has been built carefully to support these goals. The network combines advanced cryptographic technology, a Proof of Stake based consensus mechanism, and a modular design that separates data settlement, execution, and privacy layers. DuskDS acts as the backbone for data and settlement, providing security and compliance, while other parts of the system allow developers to build applications that interact with privacy features and regulated assets. This modularity gives the platform the ability to evolve and adapt to new needs without breaking what is already working — a thoughtful approach that reflects deep understanding of both finance and distributed systems.

One of the most exciting parts of the Dusk vision is the ability to bring real world assets (RWAs) on‑chain, meaning that things like corporate bonds, stock shares, property rights, and even future‑oriented financial instruments could be issued, traded, and settled on the blockchain. But unlike other projects that simply put a digital version of a real asset on a public ledger, Dusk ensures that all actions related to those assets happen in a legally compliant and privacy‑preserving manner. This opens up the door for widespread participation in markets that were previously inaccessible to many people because of cost, legal frameworks, and centralized control. Through confidential smart contracts, known as XSC contracts, Dusk automates actions like dividends, voting rights, and compliance checks without exposing private details. This not only streamlines many traditionally slow and costly processes but also empowers individuals and institutions to interact with assets in ways that feel safe and modern.

I find it inspiring that Dusk doesn’t just focus on privacy as a niche tech feature but treats privacy as a fundamental right and necessity if blockchain is ever going to reach mass adoption in real world finance. They argue that no one would put their bank statements online for the world to see, so why should financial transactions in a digital future be any different? That core human insight frames everything they build. And it shows in features like Citadel, a self‑sovereign identity system that lets users prove things about themselves without giving away every detail, offering a kind of digital dignity that feels rare in the tech world.

Another part of what makes Dusk feel like a deeply human project is its community involvement and encouragement of innovation through initiatives like testnets, grants, and developer tools. When the Dusk Network launched its DayBreak testnet, it opened a space for anyone curious to interact with the network and experience firsthand how transactions can be private yet compliant. It was a proud milestone for the team because it signaled that billions of lines of theory had become something real that people can explore, test, and build upon.

It is also inspiring to see Dusk work alongside privacy‑focused groups to push awareness about the importance of data privacy in the broader Web3 ecosystem. They joined coalitions that educate, advocate, and push for better privacy understanding across users and policymakers alike. That willingness to collaborate, to educate, and to push for a future where technology respects people’s rights makes Dusk feel less like a corporation chasing markets and more like a movement toward something better for everyone.

Of course, all of this is not without challenges. Building a blockchain that satisfies legal frameworks across different regions, meets institutional requirements, and protects privacy is incredibly hard. Regulatory landscapes are always shifting, and institutions have many systems and habits rooted in decades of legacy processes. Yet Dusk does not shy away from these challenges. They face them with deep research, thoughtful design, and a clear commitment to their mission rather than short‑term trends. That perseverance feels real.

When I think about why this matters, it becomes personal. When people talk about financial freedom, they often focus on removing restrictions. But privacy and compliance are not restrictions — they are trust, respect, and safety. Dusk’s work feels like a bridge not just between old finance and new technology, but between ideals and the real world. It says quietly and confidently that people should be able to participate in financial systems with dignity, without exposing every detail of their lives, and without having to give up the protections that laws afford them. That is a vision that feels not only technically impressive but deeply human.

Dusk is still evolving. People are talking about bringing developers, institutions, and regular users into the ecosystem in meaningful ways. They are moving toward mainnet launches and broader adoption, and every step forward feels like an invitation to a financial future that is fairer, privacy‑respecting, and truly inclusive. The story of Dusk is not just about code — it is about people, privacy, fairness, and the courage to build something that honors both human dignity and legal reality.

Es vēlos dalīties ar jums par kaut ko, kas pilnībā mainīja manu domāšanu par datu glabāšanu un digitālā saturā aizsardzību. To sauc par Walrus, un tas nav tikai vēl viens blokārkāzu projekts. Viņi izveido sistēmu, kurā jūsu dati — video, attēli, dokumenti un pat milzīgi datu kopumi — var tikt glabāti privāti, droši un decentralizēti. Mūsdienās ik dienas mēs dodam savu informāciju lielām uzņēmumiem un nekad nezinām, kas ar to notiek. Walrus to maina. Tas atgriež cilvēkiem kontroli pār savu saturu un padara iespējamu savstarpēji ietekmēt failus tādā veidā, kāds agrāk nebija iespējams. Sistēma ir izveidota uz Sui blokārkāza, kas nozīmē, ka tā nav tikai decentralizēta, bet arī programmējama, nodrošinot izstrādātājiem un lietotājiem rīkus, lai droši pārvaldītu savus failus, turpinot centienus uz privātumu visām lietām.

Es vēlos ielūgt tevi ceļojumā par projektu, kas izskatās dzīvs ar mērķi un iespējām, kas šķiet daudz lielākas par vienkāršiem datorprogrammu kodiem vai finanšu diagrammām. Tas ir Dusk — fondu un blokārkārtas tīkls, ko izveidoja ar ticību, ka privātība un ievērošana nav ienaidnieki, bet partneri, un ka finanses var kļūt cilvēcīgākas, ja tās cienīs gan individuālās tiesības, gan likumīgās realitātes. Tas sākās 2018. gadā, kad grupa domātāju un būvētāju aplūkoja, kā darbojas tradicionālā finanse un kā blokārkārtas mēģina to pārveidot, un uzdeva vienkāršu, taču dziļu jautājumu: ko, ja mēs varētu izveidot sistēmu, kas patiešām cienītu privātību, neizlaužot likumus, un cienītu likumus, neiznīcinot privātību? Šis jautājums kļuva par Dusk sirdsdarbību, un tas vēl joprojām vadīt visu, ko tie dara.
