The @Dusk project is redefining how blockchains interact with regulated finance by building a Layer 1 network where privacy and compliance go hand in hand. Unlike chains that are fully transparent or strictly privacy-centric, Dusk uses zero-knowledge proof technology to preserve confidentiality while still meeting regulatory requirements such as MiCA and MiFID II, enabling institutions to issue, trade, and settle real-world assets on-chain without exposing sensitive data. This dual focus could unlock new pathways for traditional financial systems to adopt decentralized technology, empowering confidential smart contracts and compliant financial workflows. The native token $DUSK underpins network security, governance, and transaction settlement, driving utility across institutional and retail use cases. #Dusk
