DuskEVM mainnet is launching in the second week of January 2026, and for Solidity developers, this is a rare opportunity. Unlike generic EVM chains, DuskEVM settles contracts on a Layer 1 with native privacy (ZKPs + homomorphic encryption via Hedger Alpha), perfect for compliant applications where data sensitivity matters.
You can deploy familiar code, but gain built-in auditability for regulators and confidentiality for users—ideal for RWAs, institutional DeFi, or tokenized funds. The modular design (DuskDS for data availability) keeps it scalable, and Chainlink CCIP integration means cross-chain composability without losing compliance.
With NPEX already tokenizing €300M+ in real securities, DuskEVM opens the door for devs to build on proven regulated infrastructure. STOX platform (phased 2026) will expand tokenized trading, creating demand for new tools.
If you're a dev tired of public chain risks, DuskEVM could be your next move.
