MARKET INFRASTRUCTURE

Financial markets,
one ledger

Issuance, trading, settlement and record-keeping happen in the same place, so issuers, venues, custodians and investors stop reconciling between separate systems. EXPLORE

Compliance
built in

Investor eligibility, transfer rules and disclosure are written into the asset itself and enforced onchain, not bolted on afterwards. VIEW USE CASES

DvP settlement,
in seconds

Delivery versus payment with final settlement in about ten seconds. The asset and the payment change hands together, or not at all. LEARN MORE

Private, yet
auditable

Positions and amounts stay confidential on a public ledger, while regulators and auditors can still see exactly what they're entitled to. HOW PRIVACY WORKS

NATIVE L1

The Dusk Native Layer

Dusk is the native Layer 1 for regulated onchain finance: deterministic settlement, data availability, confidential shielded transfers, transparent public accounts, and ZK smart contracts in one base layer.

It gives regulated asset workflows and dApps a foundation for issuance, privacy, disclosure, and programmable execution without forcing every detail into public view.

  • Native ZK smart contracts
  • Confidential shielded transfers
  • Deterministic finality
  • Settlement & data availability

READ CASE STUDY

The Opportunity

NPEX operates in regulated private markets where issuance, investor access, trading, disclosure, and settlement requirements are already established.

The opportunity is to move that workflow onchain without losing the privacy, auditability, or controls regulated markets require.

Our Solution

Dusk provides institutional-grade infrastructure for regulated digital assets: access controls, privacy with selective disclosure, deterministic finality, and atomic settlement coordination.

Together with NPEX, Dusk brings issuance, trading, disclosure, and settlement into one coherent onchain workflow.

DEVELOPERS

Build on Dusk

Build with familiar EVM tooling through DuskEVM, or build natively on Dusk with Rust, WASM, DuskVM, ZK smart contracts, and privacy-preserving asset flows and dApps.

EVM PATH

DuskEVM Solidity / EVM

Deploy Solidity applications with familiar tooling and connect them to Dusk settlement. Add confidential flows through Hedger when your app needs privacy.

  • Solidity
  • OP Stack
  • EVM Equivalent
  • Hedger Privacy
DEPLOY ON DUSKEVM

NATIVE PRIVACY PATH

Dusk ZK / WASM

Build directly on the Dusk L1 when your application needs native privacy, ZK smart contracts, confidential assets, custom execution, or protocol-level control. Use Rust, WASM, and DuskVM to build financial applications, privacy-preserving asset flows, and dApps with privacy and compliance at the base layer.
