Since 2018, @Dusk has quietly developed a Layer 1 blockchain that prioritizes what institutions truly need: privacy that doesn't conflict with regulation. Through zero-knowledge proofs and modular design, Dusk enables confidential yet auditable transactions—perfect for regulated DeFi and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).
Key 2026 updates show real momentum. DuskEVM mainnet launched in mid-January, offering full EVM compatibility so developers can deploy standard Solidity contracts with privacy-first settlement on Dusk's secure chain. This lowers barriers for compliant applications.
Hedger Alpha is live, bringing privacy-preserving transfers to EVM environments using advanced cryptography—designed specifically for financial use cases requiring oversight.
The most anticipated step: DuskTrade, partnering with regulated NPEX exchange (MTF, Broker, ECSP licenses), will tokenize over €300M in securities on-chain. Waitlist is open now, creating a compliant bridge between TradFi and blockchain.
It's motivating to see consistent execution on long-term vision—focusing on utility, partnerships, and trust-building. Projects like this help move the space forward thoughtfully.
