Privacy isn’t a feature anymore it’s a necessity. And today, Dusk takes a confident step forward.
Hedger Alpha is officially live on the DuskEVM testnet, introducing confidential transactions designed for a new era of privacy-preserving finance. This release isn’t about hype. It’s about proving that privacy, usability, and performance can coexist seamlessly.
If you believe the future of Web3 must protect users by default, Hedger Alpha is something you’ll want to experience firsthand.
Redefining Privacy in On-Chain Payments
Most blockchains still operate like glass houses. Every balance, every transfer amount, every interaction exposed. While transparency has its merits, financial privacy is not optional. It’s fundamental.
Hedger Alpha introduces confidential transactions that keep balances and transfer amounts hidden, without sacrificing verifiability or user experience. This is privacy done right cryptographically secure, intuitively designed, and fully compatible with the DuskEVM environment.
The result?
A system where users regain control over what the world can — and cannot — see.
What Is Hedger Alpha?
Hedger Alpha is the first public test version of Dusk’s confidential transaction layer, built specifically for privacy-preserving payments on DuskEVM.
It enables users to:
Shield sensitive financial data
Interact with private balances
Transact confidentially between wallets
All while maintaining the speed and composability expected from a modern EVM-compatible environment.
This is not a concept demo. It’s a functional, testable system — and it’s live.
Confidential Transactions That Actually Feel Usable
Privacy tools often come with friction. Complex flows. Confusing UX. Steep learning curves.
Hedger Alpha challenges that norm.
The experience is designed to feel natural, even if the cryptography behind it is anything but simple. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or a curious tester, the system guides you smoothly through each interaction.
Privacy shouldn’t feel intimidating. With Hedger Alpha, it doesn’t.
What You Can Do in This Version
This Alpha release focuses on the core building blocks of private payments — and it delivers them with clarity and intention.
🔁 Move Funds Between Public and Private Balances
Users can seamlessly transfer assets between a standard public wallet and a confidential private balance. This flexibility allows you to decide when transparency is useful — and when privacy is essential.
Public when you want it. Private when you need it.
🔒 Send Confidential Transfers Between Hedger Wallets
Hedger Alpha enables private peer-to-peer transfers where amounts and balances remain hidden from public view. Only the sender and recipient know the details — exactly how digital cash should work.
This opens the door to:
Private payments
Confidential settlements
Discreet value transfers
All secured by advanced cryptography.
📊 Track Activity with the New Activity Tab
Privacy doesn’t mean losing visibility for yourself.
The new Activity tab allows users to track their confidential transactions in a clean, intuitive interface. You maintain full awareness of your activity — without exposing it to the world.
Transparency for the user. Privacy from everyone else.
Why This Matters — Beyond the Testnet
Hedger Alpha is more than a test release. It’s a statement.
It shows that:
Privacy can be built directly into the transaction layer
Confidential payments can be user-friendly
EVM compatibility doesn’t require sacrificing discretion
In a world moving toward increased on-chain adoption, privacy will define trust. Institutions, businesses, and individuals all need ways to transact without broadcasting sensitive financial data.
Dusk is building for that future — now.
Built for Builders, Designed for Users
For developers, Hedger Alpha demonstrates what’s possible when privacy is treated as first-class infrastructure. It opens paths toward:
Private DeFi interactions
Confidential payroll systems
Secure B2B settlements
Privacy-preserving financial applications
For users, it delivers something equally powerful: peace of mind.
No more wondering who’s watching.
No more exposing balances by default.
No more choosing between usability and privacy.
A Step Toward a More Responsible Web3
True decentralization isn’t just about removing intermediaries — it’s about empowering individuals.
By hiding sensitive data while preserving cryptographic integrity, Hedger Alpha aligns with a more responsible vision of Web3:
One that respects user autonomy
One that protects financial dignity
One that understands privacy as a human right
This Alpha release is an invitation to explore that vision.
Test It. Break It. Shape It.
Because Hedger Alpha is live on testnet, this is the moment for the community to get involved.
Explore the flows.
Test the edge cases.
Experience confidential transactions for yourself.
Every interaction helps refine what privacy-preserving finance can become — before it reaches mainnet scale.
