Dusk Network is a decentralized blockchain protocol that provides privacy and transparency solutions for payments, communications, and asset ownership transfers. It is different from the consensus mechanism such as PoW/PoS, and introduces a new privacy-oriented consensus mechanism -- Byzantine Protocol (SBA). Dusk is a new blockchain that offers a truly private, fast and secure streaming mechanism called Secure Tunnel Exchange (STS).
