Dusk: technology leadership for a layer-1 blockchain.

Dusk ↗ is a public blockchain for regulated finance, with privacy built into the protocol. Mochavi provides its technology leadership, with our founder Hein Dauven as Dusk's CTO.

Mochavi builds regulated on-chain finance products, zero-knowledge cryptography and production AI for banks, protocol teams and AI companies. See services →

Our relationship with Dusk

Mochavi is paid by Dusk to provide its technology leadership. That is our strongest credential and a possible conflict, so here is how we handle it. We recommend Dusk only when its privacy and compliance features fit your case, and we say so when another chain fits better. In due diligence we disclose any Dusk connection up front and decline targets that compete with Dusk or depend on it.

What the engagement covers.

In plain terms: everything from the cryptography that keeps transactions private to the apps people use. The protocol, cryptography and execution layers are open source and can be checked.
