Privacy on-chain has often conflicted with compliance, but Dusk is proving that both can coexist. With DuskEVM launching this January, the network introduces an EVM-compatible application layer that allows developers and institutions to use familiar Solidity tooling while benefiting from Dusk’s compliant Layer 1 settlement. On top of this, Hedger enables privacy-preserving yet auditable transactions using advanced cryptography, including zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption. This means sensitive financial data can remain confidential while still being verifiable when required by regulators. Hedger Alpha is already live, showing real progress beyond theory. By combining EVM compatibility with compliant privacy, Dusk is creating infrastructure suitable for regulated DeFi, institutional products, and real-world assets. This approach highlights the long-term utility behind $DUSK @Dusk #dusk
