Privacy finance has indeed been quite popular in the crypto market over the past two years. As a core player in the privacy track, DUSK has built "privacy protection" and "compliance" into two main supporting pillars from the technical foundation.

Speaking of technical highlights, DUSK's mixing protocol (Dusk Mixer) is particularly interesting—it can completely anonymize transaction information. Through the zero-knowledge proof (ZK-SNARKs) technology system, when users transfer or trade, key information such as addresses, amounts, and trading counterparts are not exposed. This directly solves the old problem of traditional public chains being "transparent but lacking privacy."

In addition to privacy transactions, DUSK has also focused on performance and compatibility. Using a PoS consensus mechanism lowers the node entry barrier, and transaction confirmation speeds can reach seconds—significantly improving efficiency compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum. More conveniently, the DUSK ecosystem supports EVM compatibility, which means DeFi projects and NFT applications on Ethereum can migrate smoothly, retaining their original functions while gaining additional privacy protection.

In practical applications, privacy DEXs, privacy NFT marketplaces, and decentralized identity verification have already been implemented and are operational. Ordinary users have their own privacy needs, and institutional investors have theirs—such as large asset allocations, where privacy transaction features can be useful to protect commercial information and mitigate risks.
