Dusk: A Compliance Bridge Connecting Traditional Finance and the Crypto World The transparency of blockchain technology is the cornerstone of its trust-building, yet it also constitutes the biggest obstacle to large-scale adoption by traditional financial institutions—trade secrets and customer privacy cannot be protected on a public ledger. Founded in 2018, the Dusk network is a Layer 1 blockchain designed to address this core contradiction. It is precisely positioned to serve financial scenarios that prioritize both compliance and privacy, aiming to provide a secure, reliable, and globally compliant infrastructure for institutional applications, regulated decentralized finance (DeFi), and the tokenization of trillions of dollars in real-world assets (RWA). Its goal is not to disrupt the existing system, but to act as a reliable bridge, facilitating the efficient and compliant migration of traditional finance to the blockchain. Dusk achieves this vision through two complementary technological innovations. First, its modular architecture allows developers to flexibly configure compliance components according to the specific regulations of different jurisdictions, such as the EU's MiCA, like building blocks, thereby quickly building compliant financial applications. Its more core breakthrough lies in the natively built-in "auditable privacy" at the protocol layer. This mechanism utilizes advanced cryptography such as zero-knowledge proofs to encrypt all transaction details by default, perfectly protecting sensitive information such as the identities and amounts of participants. However, unlike systems that strive for complete anonymity, Dusk innovatively designs a selective disclosure function, ensuring that legally authorized regulatory agencies can conduct compliance audits and trace specific transactions when necessary. This achieves a fundamental unification of privacy protection and stringent regulatory requirements such as Anti-Money Laundering (AML). Therefore, Dusk demonstrates unique value and enormous potential in two cutting-edge fields. It is becoming the preferred underlying protocol for the compliant and efficient tokenization of real-world assets such as bonds and private equity, ensuring the private flow of assets on-chain while meeting audit requirements throughout the process. @DuskFoundation $DUSK #Dusk
