Here are the most recent key developments of @Dusk :
1. Mainnet Launch (January 7, 2026): Dusk announced that its mainnet is now live after years of development. This marks the start of privacy-focused RWAs and mainstream adoption on the chain.
2. New Year Outlook (January 1, 2026): The team shared a positive message for 2026, emphasizing execution, adoption, and accelerating the shift to on-chain financial markets. They highlighted ongoing upgrades to a modular architecture.
3. Upcoming DuskEVM Launch: The EVM-compatible application layer (DuskEVM) is in the final stages, expected soon (community discussions pointed to a potential launch in early 2026 following recent delays). This will enable easier Solidity development and deployment while settling on the privacy-focused settlement layer.
4. DuskDS L1 Activation (December 10, 2025): A mandatory upgrade to the settlement layer improved data availability and prepared the network for broader features, including the modular stack.
5. Other Milestones: Recent price surges (e.g., +16% in early January) have been linked to progress in RWA infrastructure. The project continues to focus on regulatory compliance (e.g., potential DLT-TSS license in 2026).
The project appears active in building toward regulated, privacy-first finance, with 2026 positioned as a year of execution and real-market adoption
