“What if blockchain privacy finally worked with regulators instead of against them?”
Privacy has long been one of blockchain’s greatest strengths—and its biggest regulatory challenge. Most privacy solutions force a tradeoff: either protect sensitive data or enable transparency and compliance. Hedger, Dusk’s privacy solution for EVM-based applications, proves that this compromise is no longer necessary.
Hedger is built specifically for regulated financial use cases, combining zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption to deliver transactions that are private, auditable, and legally compliant. Sensitive financial data stays confidential, while authorized parties—such as regulators—can still verify and audit activity when required. Privacy doesn’t disappear; it becomes controlled, intentional, and compliant.
This is a critical breakthrough for institutions. Banks, asset managers, and regulated DeFi platforms need privacy to protect client data, trading strategies, and balances. At the same time, they must meet strict regulatory requirements around reporting, oversight, and transparency. Hedger bridges this gap by enabling selective disclosure—privacy for the public, clarity for compliance.
Importantly, this isn’t a future promise. Hedger Alpha is already live, proving that compliant privacy is not just theoretical—it’s deployable today. Developers can build EVM-compatible applications that respect user confidentiality without operating in regulatory gray zones.
Hedger removes one of the biggest barriers to institutional blockchain adoption: the false choice between privacy and trust. By aligning cryptographic privacy with real-world legal frameworks, Dusk is redefining how financial infrastructure should work on-chain.
Privacy + compliance + auditability isn’t a slogan—it’s the foundation of the next generation of institutional blockchain finance.
