$DUSK Dusk Network (DUSK) is a Layer 1 blockchain specifically designed for regulated financial markets. It aims to enable the issuance, trading, and settlement of real-world assets (RWAs) while complying with regulations like MiFID II, MiCA, and the DLT Pilot Regime.
Unlike many other blockchains, Dusk was built with the assumption that regulatory pressure would be present, and it focuses on privacy with compliance. This approach positions it as a blockchain suitable for institutional adoption.
Key features of Dusk Network include:
Architecture for Regulated Use Cases: It separates the settlement layer from the application layer to protect consensus and finality while allowing flexibility at the application level.
DuskEVM: An EVM-compatible environment that allows developers to build using familiar tools while maintaining compliance.
Privacy with Compliance: Dusk heavily utilizes zero-knowledge proofs to allow transactions to be verified without revealing sensitive details, aligning with regulatory requirements.
Modular Design: It uses a modular architecture with DuskDS for settlement and data, and DuskEVM, supporting practical adoption.
DUSK Token: The DUSK token is central to network operations, used for fees, contract execution, and staking to secure the network. Its value is tied to the ecosystem's usage.
