【Opening: The Choice of Infrastructure Determines Everything】

There is a common phenomenon in the crypto world. People are always chasing the next skyrocketing token—those that double or even hundredfold in a short period. But what are the truly smart people doing? They are studying what kind of "road" they are stepping on.

Looking ahead to 2026 and 2030, a huge transformation is happening: traditional financial assets like stocks, bonds, and real estate are beginning to migrate to blockchain on a large scale. This is not a fantasy; it is a trend that has already started. The involved capital? Trillions of dollars.

The question is: with such large funds, what standards will they use when choosing a public chain? The answer is: extremely strict. And Dusk is born to meet this "strict demand" as a financial-grade public chain.

【Layer One Truth: The Core Challenges of Financial Institutions】

There is a fundamental contradiction here. What does traditional blockchain emphasize? Complete transparency, where every transaction can be checked. But what about the ledgers of financial institutions? They must be kept confidential. This is not only a business practice but also a legal necessity. A bank would never publicly disclose its customers' deposit information online.

Because of this contradiction, the concept of "on-chain real assets" has sounded exciting in recent years, but very few implementations have actually materialized. The core problem is simple: no chain can simultaneously satisfy the seemingly conflicting requirements of "transparency" and "privacy." Until Dusk appeared.

【Dusk's Breakthrough: Practical Application of Zero-Knowledge Proofs】

Dusk adopts zero-knowledge proof technology to build a completely new architecture. Simply put: you can prove that you know a secret without revealing the secret itself. What does this mean for financial institutions? Transactions can be verified, but the parties involved, amounts, and details can be protected.
