About
DUSK is a Layer 1 blockchain protocol designed specifically for regulated onchain financial applications and tokenized securities. The protocol combines zero-knowledge cryptography, deterministic settlement finality, confidential shielded transactions, and public account auditability within a single base layer. Its infrastructure supports institutional financial workflows including digital asset issuance, secondary trading, custodian coordination, and compliance monitoring. Through native zero-knowledge smart contract capabilities and EVM-compatible execution environments, the platform enables regulated financial institutions, securities exchanges, and digital asset issuers to execute delivery-versus-payment transactions while satisfying privacy and regulatory disclosure requirements. The network integrates with European regulated venues to support compliant digital security workflows.
