Overview
What they do
Dusk is a specialized Layer-1 blockchain designed for institutional finance, focusing on privacy and regulatory compliance. Unlike general-purpose blockchains, it uses Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to allow institutions to trade regulated assets (securities, bonds) on-chain without exposing proprietary data. As an investor, Dusk operates a "Dusk Ecosystem Fund" and a "Grants Program" to fund infrastructure, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and compliance tools that utilize their technology. They are notable for being the first blockchain to acquire a stake in a regulated stock exchange (NPEX).

What they look for
Dusk invests to build a "Regulated and Decentralized Finance" (RegDeFi) ecosystem. Their capital is directed toward projects that solve the "privacy vs. transparency" trade-off for institutions, enabling Real World Assets (RWAs) to be tokenized and traded compliantly.
