In the wave of integration between traditional finance and Web3, a difficult problem stands before us: how to protect user privacy while meeting institutional and regulatory compliance requirements? This is not a new issue, but few projects truly aim to solve it. Dusk Network, born in 2018, is one of them. It chooses to approach from a Layer 1 perspective, building a blockchain specifically designed for finance.

Unlike public chains that solely pursue TPS, Dusk does not follow the conventional path. Its goal is clear: to ensure privacy protection, transparency for audits, and the ability to run enterprise-level applications. This positioning hits the market pain points precisely. Traditional public chains are fully transparent, privacy coins fail the anti-money laundering checks, and Dusk finds itself in the middle—aiming to incorporate both privacy protection and compliance frameworks. Its vision extends to a broader scenario—onboarding real-world assets onto the chain, a market worth trillions of dollars.

Technically, Dusk’s core competitiveness lies in two aspects. First, its modular architecture, which separates functions such as consensus, settlement, and data availability into different layers, each capable of independent upgrades. Developers can flexibly customize and fine-tune each module according to business needs, like building with blocks. Second, is the Confidential Rights Proof mechanism, an innovation at the consensus layer that ensures network security while providing a technical foundation for privacy protection. This combination targets institutional investors, traditional banks, and enterprises with tokenization needs—they require a reliable and compliant blockchain infrastructure.
