Dusk Network is a privacy-oriented blockchain designed specifically for the financial industry. Launched with the aim of providing fast, secure, and fully compliant privacy solutions, Dusk Network utilizes a unique consensus mechanism called Segregated Byzantine Agreement (SBA) to enhance its transaction efficiency and privacy features. The protocol ensures total confidentiality through zero-knowledge proofs and confidential smart contracts, catering to regulated markets that require both privacy and transparency. Dusk's native token, DUSK, plays a crucial role within its ecosystem, primarily used to pay for transaction fees, incentivize network participation, and secure the network through staking. With a focus on democratized finance, Dusk Network envisions enabling the issuance, trading, and management of digital securities on a truly decentralised and privacy-preserving blockchain platform.
