To build on that, Dusk has officially entered its most significant phase since its founding in 2018. As of January 2026, it is no longer just a "test" project but a live, compliant financial infrastructure.
Here is a deeper look into its technology, recent milestones, and how the ecosystem functions.
đïž The 2026 Mainnet Milestone
In the second week of January 2026, Dusk officially launched its DuskEVM Mainnet. This was a turning point for the project:
âą Solidity Compatibility: Developers can now use the standard Ethereum programming language (Solidity) to build apps on Dusk.
âą Built-in Privacy: Unlike Ethereum, these apps have "Privacy by Design." A bank can use the network to move money without revealing their balance to the public, while still allowing a regulator to audit the transaction.
âą Hyperstaking: With the mainnet live, a new staking model called "Hyperstaking" has been introduced, offering yields as high as 30% APY to incentivize early network security.
