From Rusk to Piecrust: A Faster Execution Layer

Dusk’s execution environment has evolved to meet growing performance demands. In early 2023, the network introduced Piecrust, a new virtual machine built to replace the earlier Rusk VM.

Piecrust was designed with real-world asset tokenization in mind and delivers transaction speeds up to ten times faster than its predecessor.

By targeting WebAssembly, it allows developers to write contracts in Rust, benefiting from stronger safety guarantees and improved performance.

This shift represents a clear step forward a more efficient, developer-friendly execution layer that aligns performance with the network’s privacy-first architecture
