Dusk Blockchain: Building a Compliance and Privacy Foundation for On-Chain Financial Transactions When traditional financial institutions explore blockchain, they often face a dilemma: the transparency of public blockchains exposes trade secrets, while private blockchains struggle to meet mutual trust and auditing requirements. Founded in 2018, the Dusk Network is a Layer 1 blockchain designed to solve this problem. It is precisely positioned to serve regulated financial markets, aiming to achieve a native integration of privacy protection and compliance auditing at the protocol layer. Its goal is not to disrupt traditional finance, but to use technology to write rules into code, building a bridge that protects business privacy while meeting global regulatory requirements for the large-scale, trusted on-chain trading and circulation of real-world assets such as stocks and bonds. Dusk's core innovation lies in its "auditable privacy" design and modular architecture. It utilizes cryptographic techniques such as zero-knowledge proofs to encrypt details such as transaction amounts and participant identities by default, ensuring business privacy. However, its unique feature is its built-in "selective disclosure" mechanism, allowing legally authorized regulators to decrypt and audit specific transactions when necessary, thus seamlessly meeting compliance requirements such as anti-money laundering. This seemingly contradictory characteristic sets Dusk apart in the crypto world. Simultaneously, its modular architecture allows developers to quickly configure compliant components according to different regulations, such as the EU's MiCA, much like building blocks, significantly lowering the barrier to building compliant financial applications. Based on this unique advantage, Dusk demonstrates clear value in two main areas. First, it serves as the ideal underlying layer for the compliant tokenization of real-world assets, ensuring that assets are transferred privately and are auditable throughout the entire process. Second, it provides a secure sandbox for traditional financial institutions to explore compliant on-chain finance. Dusk's experience shows that blockchain can be a tool to enhance rather than disrupt the existing financial system, and its potential as the next-generation compliant financial infrastructure is becoming increasingly apparent. @DuskFoundation $DUSK #Dusk
