Privacy-Preserving Smart Contracts
Piecrust VM facilitates the development of complex, privacy-focused dApps. It supports Smart Contracts written in rust or any programming language that targets WebAssembly (WASM) bytecode.
Welcome to Dusk!
In this site you will find comprehensive guides, tutorials, and resources to help you get started.
Overview
Dusk is the first global computer with privacy-preserving dApps built for real world adoption and assets (RWA). Dusk protocol has been built from the ground up for financial applications and services, providing a secure, private, and scalable infrastructure for the digital economy. Dusk ultimate goal is to enable a full and decentralized financial market infrastructure (FMI) powering clearance anb settlement, post-trading services, and corporate actions for securities and digital assets.
Key Features
Dusk is designed to power the next generation of financial applications. The protocol addresses key challenges in the financial sector, such as privacy, compliance, and scalability, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of services.
Compliance
Dusk features a privacy-preserving digital identity protocol, Citadel, crucial for KYC/AML compliance. Moreover, the protocol features Zedger, a transaction model which encodes Mifid II regulation and allows the issuance of regulated financial products.
Cryptography Empowerment
Our R&D team is at the forefront of research in zero-knowledge proof systems with several papers published and developed libraries.
Finality and Scalability
Thanks to the Kadcast networking protocol and the succinct attestation consensus algorithm, Dusk can scale to millions of nodes without compromising time to finality, decentralization, and network efficiency.
Economic Soundness
Dusk’s economic protocol allows service providers to be productized and generate revenue, incentivizes developers, and completely unlocks a new breed of use cases.
