Family, the potential dark horse of the crypto market in 2026 has emerged, and it is the Dusk Foundation, which focuses on compliant and privacy-centric financial infrastructure! Established in 2018 as a Layer 1 blockchain project, Dusk has been active recently, and every move is worth our attention, especially for friends looking to invest in RWA (Real World Assets) and compliant DeFi sectors—this is an opportunity not to be missed!
First of all, the most anticipated is that DuskTrade is set to launch in 2026! This is Dusk's first RWA application, developed in collaboration with the Dutch exchange NPEX, which holds MTF, Broker, ECSP, and other compliance licenses. It is important to know that DuskTrade will bring over 300 million euros worth of tokenized securities on-chain, meaning that ordinary people can participate in the previously high-threshold compliant securities trading—just thinking about it is exciting! More importantly, the waiting list for DuskTrade has already opened in January, so friends who want to seize the opportunity should act quickly to learn more!
Secondly, the DuskEVM mainnet will officially launch in the second week of January! This is definitely great news for developers and institutions. DuskEVM, as the EVM-compatible application layer of Dusk, supports deploying standard Solidity smart contracts, and can also settle on Dusk's Layer 1. This not only eliminates various integration barriers but also opens new doors for the development of compliant DeFi and RWA applications. The future looks promising! Currently, the development prospects of Dusk are very bright.
Additionally, Dusk's compliant privacy solution on EVM, Hedger, is also incredibly powerful! It utilizes zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption technology to achieve transactions on EVM that protect privacy while being auditable, specifically designed for regulated financial scenarios. The Hedger Alpha version has already been launched, and everyone can experience how fantastic this privacy and compliance-focused trading method is!
