Dusk is built for financial applications that must follow regulatory and privacy requirements. It is a layer 1 blockchain used for compliant DeFi and tokenized real-world assets, where transaction data needs to stay confidential while remaining auditable. This allows regulated financial use cases to operate on blockchain infrastructure.
As Web3 applications grow, they start depending more on offchain data than most people realize.
Things like NFT metadata, media assets, and application files all need to stay available for the app to function properly. Walrus provides decentralized storage for this data, helping applications remain reliable as user activity increases.
Many financial use cases cannot operate on blockchains where transaction details are visible to everyone. Dusk is built specifically for this limitation. As a layer 1 blockchain designed for regulated finance, it supports privacy-preserving transactions while still allowing audits and compliance checks. This makes Dusk suitable for financial applications that must follow regulatory standards without exposing sensitive data publicly.
As decentralized applications move into production, their biggest challenge often shifts from smart contract logic to data reliability. Content like metadata, media files, and application assets must remain accessible for the app to function properly. Walrus supports this requirement by offering decentralized storage for offchain data that Web3 applications depend on as usage increases. This helps ensure applications remain functional and reliable as user demand grows.
