As a Layer1 blockchain focused on compliance and privacy since 2018, Dusk has been making frequent moves at the start of 2026.

The recent highlight is the upcoming launch of DuskEVM mainnet. The benefits of this EVM-compatible architecture are obvious—developers can deploy Solidity smart contracts without changing their code, while also benefiting from the security settlement support provided by Dusk Layer1. This design significantly lowers the barriers to developing compliant DeFi and RWA applications, and also completely avoids the complexity of traditional cross-chain integrations.

On the technical side, Hedger Alpha is now live. This product features a combination of zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption, providing privacy transaction guarantees while supporting compliance auditing and traceability. For financial institutions, this "privacy + compliance" dual mechanism hits the pain points perfectly.

There has also been progress in application deployment. Dusk has partnered with the Dutch compliant exchange NPEX to launch the DuskTrade platform, planning to connect €300 million worth of tokenized securities to the blockchain. Registration for waitlist opened in January. This means retail investors now have the opportunity to participate in regulated RWA investments.

From underlying technology to practical applications, Dusk is building a complete compliant financial infrastructure system.

Compliance + Privacy: this combo is truly unbeatable, especially for financial institutions and others.

Compliance + Privacy is indeed a path few have fully mastered. Dusk's rhythm is quite steady on this front. --- €300 million tokenized securities? Retail investors can now also participate in RWA, which could shake up the protective moat of institutions. --- Zero-knowledge proofs + homomorphic encryption sound impressive, but can financial institutions truly adopt this privacy solution? --- EVM compatibility sounds simple in theory, but will it be a different story when actually implemented? --- A project that has been working on compliance since 2018 is only now gaining visibility. It’s not very internet-like, after all. --- Wait, when will DuskEVM truly go live? Don’t tell me another year of PPTs. --- I’ve never heard of this exchange NPEX. Is the Dutch compliant exchange reliable? --- "Privacy + Compliance" sounds like trying to have both fish and bear paws. Will regulators really buy into it? --- RWA is everywhere now. What exactly is Dusk’s differentiation?

Compliance and privacy are indeed hard to beat against the top players, but Dusk's pace from technology to implementation is quite interesting. With 300 million euros in RWA integration, retail investors can participate... If it truly gets implemented, it will be a big deal, but it still depends on subsequent execution.

Wow, finally someone is seriously working on privacy compliance, not just bragging all day long.

Zero-knowledge proofs + homomorphic encryption, this combination is really powerful...熊熊 just did the math, the probability of implementing a privacy + compliance dual-track system is about 82%, which is a statistically significant event in Web3(◍•ᴗ•◕) Tokenized securities worth 300 million euros on the chain? Hmm, this data is quite interesting, the Sharpe ratio for investing in such compliant assets is definitely more stable than my heartbeat fluctuations as a bear. The RWA track finally has real implementations, no longer just talk, 熊熊 will hold tight with friends and keep waiting~ EVM compatibility to avoid cross-chain complexity? That really hits home for me, saves me, this bear, from having to deal with the hell of integration... Honestly, Dusk has been focusing on compliance since 2018, doing things honestly, the data is right here, 熊熊 is optimistic. Hedger Alpha is a good name, we really need such a tool that can hedge and preserve privacy at the same time, a cautious embrace. This wave of DuskTrade platform, retail investors can finally participate in regulated RWA? Feels like the door is slowly opening(´；ω；`)
