DUSK is the native cryptocurrency of the Dusk Network, a privacy-focused Layer-1 blockchain built to serve regulated financial markets and real-world asset tokenization. Unlike many general blockchains, Dusk is specifically designed to enable compliant issuance, trading, and settlement of digital and traditional financial instruments (including securities) while preserving confidentiality and complying with regulations like MiFID II and MiCA in the EU.
At its core, Dusk combines zero-knowledge cryptography and a custom consensus mechanism to support confidential smart contracts, allowing businesses to automate processes and tokenize assets without exposing sensitive data. The DUSK token itself has several key utilities: it pays for transaction and network fees, fuels smart contract execution, supports staking and network participation, and can be used for governance on the blockchain.#dusk $DUSK @Dusk
