As blockchain matures, an awkward reality is gradually emerging: a completely transparent ledger is almost a disaster for financial institutions.

Imagine the holdings data of banks, order information from securities exchanges, investment portfolios of asset management companies—all publicly available on the chain. Competitors can see everything clearly, and legal risks follow. That’s why most traditional public chains, although "decentralized," have never been adopted by mainstream finance.

Current mainstream public chains adopt a "full chain visibility" model. It sounds democratic, but in the real financial world, it simply doesn’t work. Holdings, quotes, liquidity, counterparties—these are core business secrets of institutions. Once fully exposed, not only is competitiveness lost, but legal boundaries may also be crossed.

The emergence of Dusk Network breaks this deadlock. Its positioning is very clear: it does not pursue an aggressive "anonymous and unregulated" approach, but instead serves compliant finance with a privacy-focused blockchain. These are two completely different philosophies.

On the technical level, Dusk uses Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) as the foundation of privacy. Simply put: transaction participants can prove their transactions are legitimate and valid to the network without revealing specific information. The result? Transactions can be verified, compliance can be audited, but business secrets are fully protected. This is truly a blockchain suitable for financial institutions.
