Dusk is built with a modular architecture, leveraging the tools and components, specifically designed to meet institutional standards for privacy, regulatory compliance, and secure interactions with regulated assets. These components enable Dusk to support not only the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) but also native issuance.
What sets Dusk apart from other blockchains is its tailor-made architecture, driven by continuous cryptographic research to ensure compliance, privacy, and robust network security, providing a reliable foundation to be a Decentralized Market Infrastructure (DeMI).

1. DuskDS:
DuskDS is the settlement, consensus, and data availability layer at the foundation of the Dusk architecture. It provides finality, security, and native bridging for all execution environments built on top, including DuskEVM and DuskVM. By modularizing the protocol stack, DuskDS is built to meet institutional demands for compliance, privacy, and performance.
DuskDS includes Rusk (the node implementation) which is powered by Succinct Attestation (PoS-based consensus), Kadcast (P2P networking layer), and the Transfer and Stake Genesis contracts. Together, these elements form a secure, compliant, and composable environment for regulated financial applications.
Through its dual transaction models (Phoenix and Moonlight), it provides a secure settlement and data availability layer for compliant execution environments (such as DuskEVM and DuskVM). For seamless, trustless transfers between execution layers, DuskDS exposes a native bridge.

2. Rusk:
Rusk can be thought of as the technological heart of the Dusk protocol, similar to the motherboard of a computer. It is the reference implementation of the Dusk protocol in Rust. Rusk serves multiple critical functions. It includes foundational elements like the genesis contracts, such as the transfer and stake contract. It integrates key components such as Plonk, Kadcast and Dusk VM, and supplies host functions to smart contract developers through Dusk Core. Beyond that, Rusk houses the consensus mechanism and node software, maintaining the chain state, database and network. It also provides crucial external APIs through the Rusk Universal Event System (RUES).

3 Succinct Attestation:
Succinct Attestation (SA) is DuskDS’s permissionless, committee-based proof-of-stake consensus protocol. It uses randomly selected provisioners to propose, validate, and ratify blocks, providing fast, deterministic finality suitable for financial markets.
At a high level, each round goes through three steps:
✓ Proposal – a provisioner creates and broadcasts a candidate block.
✓ Validation – a committee checks the block’s validity.
✓ Ratification – another committee confirms the validation outcome and finalizes the block.

4. Transactions in DuskDS:
Transactions in DuskDS are managed by the Transfer Contract. The Transfer Contract oversees the handling of both transparent and obfuscated transactions within the network.
The Transfer Contract supports both a UTXO and account-based model through Phoenix and Moonlight to handle transfers of the native currency, gas payments, and serve as a contract execution entry point.
Moonlight provides public transactions, while Phoenix enables shielded transactions. The flexibility of this dual-model allows users to take the best from both privacy and compliance features.

Core values of dusk describes the vision, ambition, mission and culture of dusk.
1. Vision:
Dusk’s vision describes the desired state of our organization within a foreseeable timeframe and guides the direction of the business’s efforts in a practical way. You can regard it as the objective of the organization and the lighthouse in planning and constantly reassessing the step in building a highly-effective strategic plan.
"Dusk envision a future where digital assets are seamlessly integrated into the decentralized global economy."
The term Decentralized Market Infrastructure (DeMI) refers to leveraging Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) to create a protocol-based Financial Market Infrastructure, as opposed to traditional platform-based systems like Central Securities Depositories (CSDs). DeMI enhances the efficiency and reduces the costs of regulated financial markets.

2. Ambition:
Dusk’s ambition is a decentralized, privacy-preserving, and programmable financial market infrastructure.
The DLT-R regime came into effect in June 2023. It is Dusk ambition to comply with the DLT-R regulation and enhance a licensed security exchange to operate under such exemption.

3. Mission;
With mission we define Dusk organization’s core purpose, focus, and aims.
Dusk’s mission is to empower users to fully control their assets.
This mission statement is short but dense in its significance. In its essence, Dusk enroots within the DeFi movement, insofar as aiming to return to the users the prerogative to be custodians of their own assets, and dispose of them as they see fit (within the confines of what the law allows).
In fact, the ambition goes far beyond custodianship, as DeFi protocols provide the opportunity to augment digital assets with behaviours and characteristics that can be directly programmed within the assets themselves, and composed as the users sees fit. These behaviours are codified within the so called smart contracts.

DeFi protocols uniquely allow for user-centric composability of applications, as well as global liquidity aggregation across the entirety of their ecosystem. This departs radically from the incumbent platform-brokered landscape, where financial services are siloed, interoperability is almost non-existent, and liquidity is fragmented.
4. Culture:
At Dusk, we prioritize our core values of integrity, communication, innovation, responsibility, and collaboration in all of our endeavors.
Dusk is a flat, community-oriented organization that is focused on advancing a novel networking protocol through a combination of pervasive knowledge sharing, an evolutionary development process, frequent communication, and joint ownership of all deliverables. We strive to tame complexity through these practices and to be a trusted and respected leader in the decentralized software industry.
Dusk is committed to honesty, effective communication, and continuous innovation, and they take ownership of their tasks and responsibilities with a focus on excellence and the best interests of our users. They also value collaboration and teamwork, fostering a culture of mutual support and shared knowledge.
These values are integral to our identity as a company and our commitment to delivering high-quality decentralized software.

Here is the answer that why dusk exists or what is the need for dusk to exist?
Dusk possesses two main features that makes us realize the need of dusk.
• Beyond Tokenization
While most projects limit their focus on tokenization, which addresses only the “front-end” of the financial system, Dusk innovates across the entire financial infrastructure, including essential back-end processes like clearance, settlement, and compliance. Dusk provides fast, private, and efficient on-chain settlement that meets institutional standards, delivering a decentralized market infrastructure that removes the need for intermediaries and custodial reliance. Unlike the vast majority of projects, Dusk tackles not only tokenization but also the deeper regulatory and operational challenges necessary for institutional-grade financial markets.
Dusk isn’t just another platform layering tokenization onto outdated systems. It is building an entirely new decentralized financial market infrastructure that allows assets to be natively issued, settled, and cleared on-chain without the need for intermediaries like CSDs. By focusing on both the front-end (tokenization) and the back-end (settlement and compliance), Dusk is paving the way for a truly disintermediated financial market for trading securities.

• Meeting Institutional Standards:
Many other blockchains, including popular solutions like Layer 2s on Ethereum, are not well-suited for settling securities transactions due to their inability to meet the stringent requirements of institutional-grade financial markets.
Some of the challenges are:
✓ Fast Finality: Securities settlement requires transactions to be finalized in under 10 seconds to meet institutional standards. Ethereum Layer 2 solutions, which batch transactions and settle them on Layer 1, usually experience delays of at least several minutes. This disqualifies them from real-time settlement use cases, making them unsuitable for securities transactions where fast finality is crucial.
✓ Compliance and Privacy: Regulatory frameworks like GDPR require privacy-preserving transaction models. Dusk’s protocol is designed to ensure compliance by offering features like selective disclosure and explicit acceptance, which are essential for adhering to legal and regulatory standards throughout the transaction lifecycle. In contrast, networks with account-based models (like EVM-based chains) do not provide the privacy needed for such compliance. This lack of privacy also increases the risk of market manipulation, further complicating their use for regulated assets like securities.

A new integration brings decentralized, programmable storage to Swarm’s AI coordination layer on Sui
Swarm Network, the decentralized multi-agent protocol behind Rollup.News, has integrated Walrus, the decentralized data layer built on Sui, to power verifiable AI at scale. Rollup.News acts as a decentralized assistant for social media, enabling real-time fact-checking through AI agents that generate onchain records of claims, sources, and context. Currently, Swarm is storing claims data on Walrus, and will subsequently add storage for agent communication logs, evidence and reasoning artifacts, laying the groundwork for a more transparent, audit-ready AI ecosystem.
Swarm enables real-time fact-checking through decentralized AI agents that collaborate to verify social media claims and write consensus-backed attestations to the blockchain. As the volume and complexity of this data continue to grow, Swarm identified a need for a scalable, decentralized solution for managing media-heavy and context-rich records. Walrus delivers the infrastructure to persistently store and retrieve this data onchain via Tusky, a user-friendly file management layer for Walrus that features end-to-end encryption and full user key control.
Key data types to be stored on Walrus include rollup summaries, media files, knowledge graphs, agent logs, and attestation records. These assets are organized across hot, warm, and cold storage tiers to optimize performance while ensuring verifiability and permanence. Swarm is also extending its Truth Protocol to index this data using smart contracts, enabling agents to reference past reasoning and context in future rollups.
Swarm is building one of the most forward-looking applications in decentralized AI. They are not just generating insights, they are building a new standard for trust and transparency. As Swarm Network continues its rapid growth, Walrus ensures that every piece of evidence and context is preserved, programmable, and accessible.
Verifiable AI demands more than just smart algorithms. It needs memory, context, and proof. As we build an open, audit-ready knowledge graph that connects agent outputs, claims histories, and media artifacts across Swarm’s AI and human contributors, we identified a glaring need surrounding storage capabilities. With Walrus, they are turning ephemeral agent work into persistent, onchain knowledge that anyone can audit and build on.
Swarm Network’s integration of Walrus follows similar technical adoptions of the decentralized storage platform, including OpenGradient and io.net, highlighting Walrus’s commitment to serving AI builders and its expanding role in enabling secure, scalable infrastructure for next-generation AI applications.
