Recently discovered an interesting underlying public chain project—Dusk Network, worth discussing its approach to balancing privacy and compliance.

Many people have encountered this dilemma: wanting to use DeFi for financial management, but not wishing transaction records to be completely transparent; traditional privacy coins often seem risky. The emergence of Dusk Network perhaps offers an alternative solution.

Its core innovation lies in the concept of "compliant privacy." Simply put: your transfers, balances, and transaction amounts are encrypted through the Hedger module, and only you and authorized parties can see them. But this privacy is not absolute or unverifiable. On the contrary—when auditing or regulatory review is needed, within an authorized framework, these data can be securely verified. You can prove that your operations are compliant and legal while protecting everyday privacy. This "selective transparency" design is a way to find a certain balance between privacy and rules.

Data shows that Dusk's mainnet has been running for over a year, with more than 200 million DUSK tokens locked in staking, accounting for 36% of the total supply. This staking scale reflects the community’s confidence in the network’s security.

Another point worth noting is its "native issuance" design. Many real-world asset (RWA) applications on public chains, such as real estate and stocks, are often simply packaged and added to the chain later. But Dusk allows assets to be issued directly from the source in a compliant and private manner from the outset. This approach offers a somewhat different perspective in the RWA track.
