Can privacy and compliance coexist? Dusk provides a new answer with dark pool trading.

The old problem faced by institutional investors: when large transactions are exposed, the market follows suit, causing either a surge in prices or front-running. Traditional finance has dark pools, but what about on the blockchain? That's what Dusk aims to solve.

The core idea is actually simple—underpinned by zero-knowledge proof technology, the identities, amounts, and position sizes of trading parties are encrypted throughout the process. Only at the moment of matching is the necessary information disclosed to regulators. Simply put, "match privately first, then settle compliantly."

What are the benefits of this mechanism? Privacy protection similar to traditional dark pools is achieved, along with the immutable and verifiable features of blockchain. Insider trading and operational risks are virtually eliminated.

How is it being implemented? Three European family offices have already completed asset transactions exceeding 50 million euros through this dark pool. From private equity to bonds, large-scale applications of institutional-grade decentralized finance are no longer a dream.
