The efficiency of PlonKup allows the @Dusk network to maintain exceptionally high performance, minimizing the computational cost traditionally associated with generating privacy proofs.
In @Dusk the PlonKup protocol represents a significant evolution of PLONK systems, optimizing zero-knowledge proofs by using lookup tables to accelerate complex processes.
Through the implementation of advanced cryptographic protocols, @Dusk enables the programmability of private assets, ensuring that each transaction complies with current international regulations.
The Privacy-by-Design paradigm integrated into the core of @Dusk allows financial institutions to operate with total confidentiality without sacrificing the auditability required by regulators
The @Dusk has consolidated a Layer 1 infrastructure that redefines the intersection between institutional privacy and strict regulatory compliance in global financial markets.
El modelo económico de $WAL incluye mecanismos de quema. Una parte de las penalizaciones por negligencia se destruye permanentemente, beneficiando a los tenedores honestos mediante la escasez inducida por la calidad. #Walrus #WAL $WAL
Trust in @Walrus 🦭/acc is based on game theory. Nodes that fail to prove availability face "slashing." This financial penalty ensures that only the most honest operators thrive. #Walrus #WAL $WAL
By delegating your $WAL , you protect the network and earn rewards. Nodes compete for excellence, ensuring your data is always alive. It's a model where financial and technical security walk hand in hand. #Walrus #WAL $WAL
The token $WAL drives the economy of @Walrus 🦭/acc through Delegated Proof-of-Stake. It's not just governance; it's the engine that secures the network, incentivizes nodes, and ensures global integrity. #Walrus #WAL $WAL
While others replicate data hundreds of times, @Walrus 🦭/acc uses a factor of only 4.5x. This drastically reduces operational costs for streaming and AI, while maintaining superior resilience thanks to its mathematical engineering. #Walrus #WAL $WAL
The XSC 2.0 Standard and the Tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA)
Beyond ERC-20
@Dusk has developed the Confidential Security Contract (XSC) standard to support the issuance of securities. Unlike standard tokens, XSCs are designed to represent shares, bonds, and other regulated instruments.
Technical Features of the XSC
Native Governance: Allows private voting and anonymous dividend distribution.
Transfer Restrictions: Compliance with securities regulations is verified on-chain via ZKPs, eliminating the need for intermediaries to manually approve each trade.
SBA Consensus: Immediate Finality and Pooling Resistance
Segregated Byzantine Agreement (SBA)
In financial markets, the "finality probability" of Bitcoin (waiting for 6 blocks) is unacceptable. @Dusk uses SBA consensus, which combines Proof-of-Stake with a random selection of nodes through cryptographic sortition.
Security Mechanism
SBA introduces the concept of Attestation Succincta. Validators are chosen blindly and anonymously, preventing external attackers from identifying block proposers before consensus occurs. Additionally, it ensures immediate finality of settlement: once a block is added, the transaction is irreversible. This is crucial for digital asset settlement, where the risk of "fork" must be zero.
Citadel: Sovereign Identity in a MiCA-Regulated World
The Dilemma of Decentralized KYC
One of the biggest barriers to institutional adoption is the friction of KYC (Know Your Customer). @Dusk addresses this through Citadel, an identity protocol that uses ZKPs to allow a user to prove identity attributes without revealing the underlying document.
Empirical Implementation
Citadel enables what we call "one-time verification." A user gets verified by an authorized identity provider and receives a cryptographic proof. From that point on, they can interact with multiple protocols on Dusk by demonstrating they are "fit to operate" or "legal residents," without their name or address being recorded on the blockchain. This is not only user-friendly but also strictly complies with GDPR and frameworks like MiCA, protecting the citizen's right to privacy against the need for supervision.
@Dusk Foundation has not only created a technological tool, but a new category of financial infrastructure where privacy is a fundamental right and regulatory compliance is the guarantee of its long-term viability
The architecture of @Dusk is a direct response to the limitations of traditional finance, where bureaucracy slows the flow of capital; here, the law is encoded in the protocol and enforced autonomously and privately.
Empirically, @Dusk demonstrates that moving validation to zero-knowledge proofs eliminates the need for human intermediaries in compliance verification, reducing operational costs and errors in executing smart contracts.
The scientific curiosity surrounding @Dusk arises from its ability to balance two opposing forces: the freedom of financial anonymity and the necessary order of state regulation, achieving a harmonious synthesis through cryptography.
In @Dusk The use of notes in Phoenix allows the state of the blockchain to be a collection of cryptographic commitments, where ownership of assets is provable only by those who possess the private keys and the corresponding validity proofs.
Artificial Intelligence requires reliable and verifiable data. @Walrus 🦭/acc provides the necessary availability layer to train models and verify results on-chain. It is the perfect foundation for autonomous agents of the future. #Walrus #WAL $WAL
Thanks to smart contracts in #Move, storage in @Walrus 🦭/acc stops being static. Developers can automate complex data flows, turning infrastructure into an interactive and fluid ecosystem. #Walrus #WAL $WAL
