As blockchain has developed to today, one problem has remained unresolved—public blockchains are sufficiently transparent and regulated, but privacy is lost; privacy coins are highly secretive and keep transactions confidential, yet compliance becomes a challenge. Can you really have both?

Dusk Network offers a different answer. Their "Confidential Compliance" technical framework is rewriting the rules of Web3 finance.

In simple terms, Dusk combines privacy protection and regulatory compliance into one package. The RUSK privacy smart contract platform is at its core, allowing developers to directly build financial tools with built-in privacy features—whether it's securities token issuance, private lending, or a DEX, transaction details are protected, and compliance audit trails are automatically generated. This is the power of "programmable compliance," enabling traditional financial institutions to adopt blockchain without modifying their existing business logic—simply move in and operate within the blockchain ecosystem.

Even more impressive, they have also launched Dusk EVM. Ethereum developers can seamlessly migrate their applications, instantly enriching the application ecosystem.

On the technical side, Dusk uses the PLONK zero-knowledge proof protocol, which is more interesting than Zcash's ZK-SNARKs and Monero's ring signatures—no trusted setup is needed, and verification is fast. Coupled with their custom Piecrust ZKP virtual machine, this is their core competitive advantage.
