As real-world assets move on-chain faster, one issue matters more than anything else: trust.
Institutions don’t just need blockchain access. They need systems that follow the rules, protect sensitive data, and work in real regulatory environments. This is where Dusk Foundation stands out.
Dusk is built around a clear idea. Compliance and privacy are not add-ons. They are part of the base layer. Its Layer 1 design uses zero-knowledge technology so transactions stay private, while still allowing authorized audits when required. This makes it possible to meet strict rules like those under the EU’s MiCA framework without exposing everything on a public ledger.
That design is already being tested in the real world.
Through partnerships with regulated players such as NPEX and Chainlink, Dusk has helped bring more than €300 million worth of compliant assets on-chain. Issuance, custody, transfers, and settlement all happen within one regulated flow instead of being split across systems.
The launch of DuskEVM adds another important layer. Developers can now build familiar Ethereum-style applications while inheriting Dusk’s compliance and privacy features by default. That lowers the barrier to entry and supports long-term ecosystem growth.
Looking toward 2026, as more institutional capital enters Web3, standards will matter more than hype. Dusk is helping define those standards by focusing on technology that works under regulation, not around it.
That’s why it’s increasingly seen as a serious, long-term player in the RWA space.
