On January 7, 2026, the Dusk Foundation successfully launched its long-awaited Mainnet. Unlike traditional blockchains that prioritize transparency above all else, Dusk was built from the ground up to solve the "Privacy vs. Compliance" paradox.
The network utilizes its proprietary Piecrust Virtual Machine and Zero-Knowledge (ZK) cryptography to ensure that sensitive financial data remains confidential while remaining fully auditable by regulators. This launch has introduced "Hyperstaking," a programmable staking logic that allows users to secure the network while earning yields that have recently hovered around 30% APY during the initial bootstrapping phase.
