Dusk Network, a project that has raised nine million dollars, has recently attracted a lot of attention. In simple terms, it is a public chain focused on privacy, currently in the testnet stage.

Regarding the core competitiveness of this project, there are mainly a few points. First, it aims to solve the industry’s longstanding problem of privacy and compliance — after all, many secure token transactions and issuances have been hindered by technical barriers. Dusk intends to use programmable zero-knowledge proofs to address this issue, enabling developers to deploy privacy-preserving dApps on its platform.

On the technical foundation, it uses XSC (Confidential Security Token Standard), whose core feature is to embed privacy, auditability, and compliance all together. From another perspective, this solution not only protects user privacy but also meets regulatory and audit requirements — in theory, it indeed fills the gap of privacy public chains in terms of compliance.

Currently, Dusk Network is building an open, permissionless ecosystem of privacy dApps. Although still in the early stages, the concept is clear — using zero-knowledge proof technology as the backbone to support more compliant privacy applications.
