$DUSK is evolving into a three‑layer modular stack that cuts integration costs and timelines while preserving the privacy and regulatory advantages that set the network apart.
This new architecture makes a consensus or data availability or settlement layer which is DuskDS and beneath an EVM execution layer a DuskEVM and a forthcoming privacy layer called DuskVM
What happens?
It accelerates application rollout
Integrations with wallets, bridges, exchanges, and service providers are faster because of standard Ethereum tooling;
Existing EVM dApps migrate with minimal code changes, eliminating bespoke work once required for native Dusk.
Codebase becomes smaller, cheaper to maintain, and inherits proven EVM scalability from day one.
A single DUSK token fuels all three layers, and a validator‑run native bridge moves value between them without wrapped assets or custodians.
