DuskEVM + Hedger, a controlled-privacy formula for institutional finance.
DuskEVM combined with Hedger is creating a formula I’d call “controlled privacy”, exactly the kind of foundation institutional finance needs when stepping into blockchain. Dusk Network was founded in 2018, and from early on it pursued a pragmatic direction, not chasing slogans of absolute anonymity, but focusing on privacy that can coexist with compliance and auditability.
DuskEVM enables institutions to deploy applications within the familiar EVM ecosystem, lowering technical barriers, shortening integration time, while still preserving the ability to shield sensitive data during transaction execution. Hedger adds a Zero Knowledge layer that turns privacy into proof, meaning “you don’t have to reveal the data to prove validity”, and when necessary, evidence can be provided to authorized parties through a controlled process.
To me, the real value is that Dusk Network doesn’t force institutions to choose between secrecy and transparency, it designs a system where both can exist under a clear and accountable operating standard.
