Enter Dusk — in full daylight

Creating a blockchain that revolutionizes the securities market

Since the first issuance of shares ever by the Dutch East India Co. (VOC), the stock market has evolved from floor-traders to arbitrage specialists sitting behind multiple screens. One thing never changed in all those years: the intermediary power of large institutions. Companies need large banks to facilitate Initial Public Offerings (IPO), whereas not so public offerings are limited to a select few and not an option for average Joe. Besides, a lot of market capital is currently frozen as seed- and venture capitalists are unable to touch their investments, up until the moment of listing, without overtaking a lot of barriers.

Enter Dusk Network. With cutting edge blockchain cryptography compliant to securities regulations, Dusk Network is opening up the market to all.

Dusk streamlines the issuance of digital securities and automates trading compliance with the world’s first programmable and confidential securities.*

Dusk will revolutionize the security market from inside out, with regulators and not against them.

Dusk Network is a cryptographically transparent digital ledger. A high-throughput and scalable permissionless blockchain that provides confidential proofs of ownership, compliance and funds. It satisfies global privacy requirements yet enables audits by the public ánd the regulator.*

Firstly, the Dusk design is crafted in order to comply to all regulatory requirements for security tokens. This means for instance that all customers should be known (KYC), although not publicly, transactions should be instant and final, and country-specific regulations and audit requests should be enforceable.

All of the above is a lot easier to facilitate, IF trust and power is placed in the hands of intermediaries. It is more difficult when you actually want to revolutionize the securities market by eliminating this exact intermediary power, and start being inclusive.
