@Dusk Mainnet Launching in the Second Week of January
Dusk Network is entering a new phase of its evolution with the upcoming DuskEVM mainnet launch in the second week of January. This milestone introduces DuskEVM, Dusk’s EVM-compatible application layer, designed to bridge the gap between Ethereum’s developer ecosystem and Dusk’s privacy-focused Layer 1 infrastructure.
What Is DuskEVM?
DuskEVM is an EVM-compatible execution environment built as part of Dusk’s modular architecture. It allows developers and institutions to deploy standard Solidity smart contracts—without modification—while settling transactions securely on Dusk’s Layer 1 blockchain.
By combining Ethereum compatibility with Dusk’s compliance-ready base layer, DuskEVM removes long-standing integration friction and opens the door to a new generation of regulated, real-world blockchain applications.
Lower Friction for Developers and Institutions
One of the biggest barriers to adoption in blockchain development is ecosystem fragmentation. DuskEVM directly addresses this by enabling:
Seamless Solidity deployments using familiar Ethereum tooling
Minimal migration costs for existing dApps
Faster integration for enterprises and financial institutions
Developers can continue using tools like Hardhat, Foundry, and MetaMask, while benefiting from settlement on Dusk’s purpose-built Layer 1.
Unlocking Compliant DeFi and Real-World Assets
DuskEVM plays a key role in enabling compliant DeFi and RWA (Real-World Asset) applications. By settling on Dusk’s Layer 1—designed with privacy, compliance, and institutional use cases in mind—projects can build financial products that meet regulatory requirements without sacrificing decentralization.
This creates new opportunities for:
Tokenized securities and RWAs
Institutional DeFi protocols
Privacy-preserving financial applications
Regulated on-chain markets
Powered by Dusk’s Modular Architecture
The launch of DuskEVM is a direct result of Dusk Network’s multi-layer, modular architecture, which separates execution, settlement, and compliance concerns into specialized layers. This design allows Dusk to scale functionality without compromising security or regulatory alignment.

A Major Step Forward for the Dusk Ecosystem
With the DuskEVM mainnet launch, Dusk Network significantly expands its reach—welcoming Ethereum developers, accelerating institutional adoption, and strengthening its position as a foundation for compliant Web3 finance.
As the ecosystem prepares for launch in the second week of January, DuskEVM marks a pivotal step toward a more interoperable, compliant, and developer-friendly blockchain future. #dusk $DUSK
