The Dusk Foundation has truly made a big move this time. In partnership with the Dutch licensed exchange NPEX, they launched the DuskTrade platform, with plans to open the waitlist in January. Over 300 million euros worth of tokenized securities are about to go on-chain. This marks that real-world assets entering the DeFi ecosystem is no longer a distant plan but an imminent reality.

In terms of timeline, the DuskEVM mainnet will officially launch in mid-January. What is the most direct benefit for developers? Deploy contracts directly with Solidity, with zero learning curve. This means a large number of institutional-grade DeFi applications and RWA projects can be quickly migrated.

On the technical side, the most noteworthy aspect is the Hedger solution. The implementation of zero-knowledge proofs combined with homomorphic encryption on EVM addresses a core pain point in financial markets—regulatory requirements for audit transparency versus user needs for transaction privacy. These seemingly contradictory demands are made compatible through this technical framework.

Since its establishment in 2018, Dusk has been deeply involved in the fields of financial compliance and privacy protection. While this focus is often overlooked in bear markets, under the broader context of institutional capital deploying RWA, the positioning as "the most knowledgeable Layer 1 in finance" is becoming increasingly scarce. The 2026 timeframe is worth paying attention to.

Really? 300 million euros on the chain, this is the proper RWA narrative, not those hype projects. Wait, Solidity zero learning curve? Will institutions really migrate that quickly? I'm a bit skeptical. Hedger's privacy + compliance solution indeed addresses a real pain point, but can the technology keep up... Let's wait until January, this time it won't be just a PPT. How long will 2026 take? Who can guarantee that the crypto world will still be the same then? Sounds good, but with Dusk being such a low-profile project, can it really outperform other RWA players? Compliance + privacy have always been a false proposition. Can this time truly break through? I'm optimistic about this approach, but the token still needs to fall back before I can buy the dip. Backed by a licensed Dutch exchange, at least it's not just empty talk, this carries weight. Migration of the Solidity ecosystem sounds great, but the key is that projects need to actively come forward.

Alright, RWA is indeed coming this time. Let's see if Dusk can hold up. Talking about privacy and audit compatibility is easy, but actually doing it... I’m not too convinced. Deploy directly with Solidity? That’s just copying Avalanche’s approach. A 300 million euro market sounds big, but how well it will perform on-chain remains to be seen. Let’s wait until the January open list and see. Don’t jump on the hype train. This technical plan is well-written, but execution is the key. Keep it up, Dusk. Institutional entry into RWA is definitely the trend, but what makes Dusk stand out? There are many competitors. 2026 is too far away; I only care if I can make money next year.

300 million euros on the chain, Dusk is really going all in this time --- Deploy directly with Solidity? Institutions will flock to it --- Privacy and transparency can be achieved simultaneously, in simple terms, both regulation and users won't have to argue anymore --- Things ignored during the bear market are often set to take off by 2026 --- RWA (Real World Assets) really needs a platform like Dusk, don't just look at Lido and Uniswap --- Zero-knowledge proofs + homomorphic encryption integrated into EVM, I’m impressed by this technology --- January candidate list opens, gotta keep an eye on it --- The compliance track is a bit boring, but all the money is here --- NPEX licensed exchange endorsement, this time is different --- The question is, will it really get off the ground then, or will it be delayed again

This is the real RWA implementation, not just talk every day. €300 million on the chain, institutions are finally entering the market. Zero-knowledge proofs + homomorphic encryption, this set of technologies truly resolves the contradiction. Deploy directly with Solidity, the ecosystem migration should be quick. Wait, can Hedger really meet both auditability and privacy at the same time? That's impressive. Will 2026 be the next wave again? Keep an eye on it. Dusk seems to have something real this time, not just pure hype.

Really, 300 million euros just went on the chain like that? I find this move a bit hard to understand. The zero-learning-cost Solidity part is indeed appealing, but will institutions really come? Privacy + transparency—how can these contradictions coexist? Seems a bit exaggerated. The RWA narrative is back again; I still feel like something is missing. Let's wait until January to see the results. Anyway, I haven't seen anything particularly special.

Real-world asset onboarding feels like Dusk is serious this time --- Zero-knowledge proofs combined with homomorphic encryption? Basically, they want to have their cake and eat it too. Let’s see if they can really pull it off --- Deploying directly on Solidity, this is definitely a catalyst for institutional players --- Backed by a licensed Dutch exchange, it feels different --- Wait, 300 million euros in tokenized securities? Is this track really taking off? --- Layer 1 focused on financial compliance is indeed rare, but whether there's demand is another question --- The January waitlist is back again. Is the FOMO worth it this time? --- The Hedger plan sounds impressive, but can it actually run? That’s the key --- Since 2018, Dusk’s patience has definitely paid off --- In this wave of RWA, whoever lands first wins

300 million euros on the chain? It depends on where the funds actually flow; I've seen too many tricks with the waiting list.

300 million euros is not a small number; real RWA implementation has arrived.

Hmm... The pattern is formed, but the chip distribution shows that institutions are still on the sidelines. Let's wait until January for the official launch. --- "Zero learning cost" has been heard too many times; in the end, it still fails due to a cold ecosystem. --- Regulatory transparency + transaction privacy compatibility? Wow, if that really works out, someone should have done it long ago. --- 3 billion euros sounds impressive, but I need to see actual locked positions to believe it. --- 2026... Interesting levels, but most of the current investors are probably chasing the high. That's how I see it. --- Saying Solidity compatibility is correct, but the question is, where is the ecosystem liquidity? --- RWA (Real-World Assets) is indeed a rare opportunity right now, but the "most knowledgeable in finance" Layer1s manage to pop up three or four every cycle.
