Dusk is taking a different approach to privacy.
Instead of adding privacy as a layer on top, Dusk is building it into the protocol itself — making confidentiality part of how the network works.
At the core is the Piecrust VM, designed to run confidential smart contracts without exposing sensitive transaction data.
Then there’s the Phoenix model, built around private transactions and smart contract execution.
With Zedger and XSC, privacy doesn’t have to come at the cost of compliance. Rules like identity checks, AML requirements, and transfer restrictions can be built directly into tokenized assets.
And perhaps most importantly, selective disclosure gives users control over what they reveal.
Using zero-knowledge proofs such as PLONK, you can keep your financial activity private by default — while still being able to prove ownership, funds, or compliance when a regulator or auditor needs it.
That’s the part I find most interesting about Dusk:
Privacy isn’t about hiding everything.
It’s about having the choice of what to reveal, to whom, and when.
A more private financial system doesn’t have to mean a less compliant one.
It can mean privacy by default, transparency by choice. #dusk $DUSK @Dusk
