Web3 development has always faced a longstanding question: how to balance privacy protection and regulatory compliance? This contradiction has hindered many traditional financial institutions from entering the blockchain space.

Dusk Network has taken a different approach. Unlike other privacy-focused public chains that solely pursue anonymous payments, it has been targeting institutional-grade financial needs from the very beginning. How does it achieve this? By utilizing PLONK zero-knowledge proof technology, enabling transaction data to be both confidential and auditable—users can selectively disclose necessary information to meet regulatory requirements, while core business data remains protected.

Efficiency issues have also been addressed. Dusk employs a Secure Byzantine Agreement (SBA) consensus mechanism, which compresses transaction settlement times to the second level. This directly meets the high-efficiency clearing demands of traditional financial markets.

In terms of product deployment, Dusk has rolled out a comprehensive suite: the RUSK privacy smart contract platform supports confidential and secure contract standards, allowing enterprises to securely issue tokenized securities; the Citadel protocol, combined with off-chain KYC solutions, ensures compliance review and privacy protection go hand in hand. What is the value of this setup? It opens a new path for RWA tokenization—truly bringing real-world assets onto the chain without compromising privacy or violating compliance.

In simple terms, it’s using technology to connect the decentralized world with traditional finance. How difficult is this? Just balancing privacy and auditability alone is enough to challenge most projects.
