The real game-changer for compliant DeFi in January 2026? Privacy without compromise. @dusk_foundation built Dusk Network as a Layer 1 where transactions stay truly private using zero-knowledge proofs (ZK), yet regulators can still audit when required.

This is what Hedger tech delivers — confidential data for users, full compliance for institutions. With DuskEVM mainnet live, devs now deploy Solidity contracts that settle privately on L1.

Here's a clear animated explanation of how Zero-Knowledge Proofs work on blockchain to protect privacy:
