The on-chain financial wave is coming. As more and more traditional assets flow into the blockchain, RWA (Real-World Asset Tokenization) has become the hottest story in this bull market. But institutions always get stuck on a deadlock when entering—the question of how to protect business secrets while passing regulatory scrutiny.

Dusk is pondering this issue. As a Layer 1 privacy public chain built specifically for financial institutions, its approach is very clear: don’t pursue absolute anonymity, but use technical means to find a balance between the two. It can hide sensitive transaction data while complying with KYC, anti-money laundering, and other regulatory requirements.

How does it achieve this at the technical level? Relying on several core strengths.

**Zero-Knowledge Proofs are the first card**. Dusk’s自主研发 (independent research and development) technology allows both parties in a transaction to prove its legality without revealing transaction amounts or holdings. Simply put, “I know who I am, but you don’t need to know exactly how much I hold.”

**The second card is the Confidential Securities standard**. Traditional bonds and securities have always been difficult to bring on-chain. Dusk has developed a native standard to enable these assets to be issued and traded compliantly directly on the chain. This is of great significance for the RWA track.

**The third is transaction determinism**. Financial transactions emphasize speed. Dusk’s fast finality design ensures that once a transaction is on-chain, it is locked in with no rollback risk. This reliability is crucial for institutional-grade applications.

As DeFi upgrades from retail play to institutional-grade applications, public chains like Dusk that understand both privacy and compliance are becoming key infrastructure connecting traditional finance and the on-chain world.
