I’m diving into Dusk because they’re not trying to impress retail hype — they’re solving a real finance problem. Most blockchains are either transparent or private, but regulated finance needs both. Dusk was built in 2018 with that exact balance in mind. They’re creating a Layer 1 blockchain where financial data can stay private while still being verifiable when rules demand it.
What makes their system interesting is the modular design. Instead of locking everything into one rigid setup, they’re building flexible components that can evolve as regulations and institutions change. That’s a big deal for banks, asset issuers, and platforms that can’t afford to rebuild every year.
The goal is clear: enable compliant DeFi and tokenized real-world assets without exposing sensitive information to the public. I’m watching Dusk because they’re focused on long-term infrastructure, not short-term noise.
