What sets Dusk apart is its modular approach to blockchain design. @Dusk has structured the network so that different layers handle specialized tasks: DuskDS manages settlement, consensus, and data availability; DuskEVM supports EVM-compatible dApps with privacy tools; and DuskVM focuses on high-privacy use cases with Rust and WASM-based contracts. This architecture makes it flexible for both public and confidential financial services while maintaining institutional requirements for speed, auditing, and compliance. Developers can build complex decentralized applications that support tokenized securities, confidential lending, and regulated asset trading — all while data stays shielded from public view unless disclosure is needed. With demand for privacy-preserving decentralized solutions rising, the $DUSK token plays a central role in securing the network through staking, paying transaction fees, and participating in governance decisions. #dusk
