DUSK's privacy features are clutch for traders dodging chain analysis—Hedger employs zero-knowledge proofs to authenticate trades without revealing volumes or timings, and homomorphic encryption enables encrypted data ops for things like covert backtesting or margin simulations. This way, you maintain opsec in DeFi while providing verifiable records for regulatory scrutiny, ideal when positioning in volatile RWA sectors.
DuskEVM mainnet launched in the second week of January, overlaying EVM compatibility on DUSK's Layer 1 for streamlined settlements. Traders can now engage compliant protocols: private vaults for RWA collateral or shielded farming pools, leveraging standard Solidity contracts to minimize friction and enhance execution speed without public exposure.
DuskTrade is on deck for later in 2026, DUSK's premier RWA initiative with NPEX—a regulated Dutch exchange boasting MTF, Broker, and ECSP licenses. The platform tokenizes over €300M in securities for compliant on-chain trading and investing, allowing you to diversify into tokenized treasuries or equities with crypto-native tools. Hedger ensures your investments remain discreet yet auditable, mitigating risks from market surveillance.
Yield hunt: utilize Hedger on DuskEVM for anonymous staking in RWA-backed yields—ZK proofs validate your claims without disclosing stakes, homomorphic computes encrypted APYs for optimized rotations. As DuskTrade integrates that €300M asset base, expect hybrid strategies blending crypto volatility with stable RWA returns, all settled securely on Layer 1 to avoid bridge exploits.
DUSK equips traders with: encrypted privacy for alpha preservation, EVM for DeFi interoperability, regulated RWAs for portfolio ballast. Practical kit for sustaining through cycles.
