Dusk is purpose built, designed with regulated financial workflows at its core rather than general programmability. Unlike chains that prioritize throughput or developer flexibility, Dusk focuses on settlement finality, privacy preserving transactions, and regulatory compliance.
Its modular architecture separates execution from settlement: DuskDS handles consensus, data availability, and transaction finality, while DuskEVM enables familiar smart contract development. This separation lets each layer be optimized for its role without compromising the other.
While general-purpose blockchains try to serve every use case, Dusk takes a deliberate, specialized approach building infrastructure that aligns with the operational realities of financial markets. This focus is what allows it to scale regulated assets effectively.
