Many people, when first encountering Dusk, initially categorize it under the "privacy track." However, after a deeper understanding of its technical architecture, you'll find that this judgment is actually inaccurate.

Dusk's core philosophy is straightforward: privacy and regulation can coexist. Users can choose to make transactions public or enable privacy features. Once enabled, Dusk processes transactions through the Hedger engine on DuskEVM, utilizing zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption techniques. Transaction amounts and account balances are fully encrypted, yet the network can still verify compliance—ensuring no data leaks and no rule vulnerabilities.

The key difference here is that traditional privacy coins address the issue of personal transfer traceability, whereas Dusk aims to solve how financial-grade assets can operate on-chain while simultaneously satisfying privacy, compliance, and auditability—all three are indispensable.

In the real financial world, transparency is never opposed; what is opposed is "completely naked exposure." Scenarios such as inter-company transactions, securities issuance, and fund clearing must open information to regulatory authorities but cannot be publicly disclosed to everyone. Dusk's zero-knowledge proof architecture is perfectly designed for this kind of "selective disclosure."

Therefore, the rhythm of Dusk Network has always focused on long-term development, not rushing to chase short-term market trends.
