what's Dusk Network?
Dusk Network is a privacy-focused blockchain platform designed for regulated financial applications, enabling institutions, businesses, and users to build and deploy confidential smart contracts while maintaining compliance with standards like MiCA and MiFID II. It supports the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) such as stocks and bonds, facilitating seamless integration between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). Through partnerships with entities like NPEX, a regulated stock exchange, Dusk aims to bring trillions in assets on-chain with reduced costs and instant settlement. At its core, Dusk leverages zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), including native PlonK integration, for privacy-preserving transactions and selective disclosure, allowing users to prove compliance without revealing sensitive data. The network features DuskEVM for EVM-compatible smart contracts, a customizable web wallet, and tools like programmable compliance and privacy-enhanced KYC. It also includes an incentivized testnet and development funds to support ecosystem growth, with the native DUSK token used for staking, node operation, gas fees, and governance.
Dusk Network runs an incentive program on Binance Square CreatorPad distributing DUSK tokens.
