Dusk is open-source allowing regulated assets to be placed on blockchain privately and audibly by issuing tokenized securities with a standard such as XSC. This paves the way to compliant digital securities markets and institutional decentralized finance unsupported by most public blockchains.
Other applications are confidential payments and settlement, privacy enhanced DeFi loans, and selective data disclosure to regulatory reporting. Dusk is an attempt to bring together privacy and compliance and expedited settlement by operating in a more direct manner than general public chains
