The Dusk mainnet went live on January 7, 2026, after six years of focused development by @Dusk This activation enables confidential smart contracts with protocol-level compliance, fast block times, and instant finality—laying a solid foundation for regulated applications.
DuskEVM provides EVM compatibility, so developers can use familiar tools like Solidity, Hardhat, and MetaMask to build and deploy on a privacy-preserving Layer 1. Hedger supports auditable zero-knowledge transactions, protecting sensitive data while meeting regulatory needs.
A key upcoming milestone: DuskTrade, the flagship RWA platform built in partnership with NPEX (a licensed Dutch exchange). It aims to bring over €300 million in tokenized securities on-chain, with the waitlist now open for early access and priority onboarding.
These developments show consistent execution on solving institutional challenges: privacy that doesn't evade oversight, combined with real asset integration. It's encouraging to see blockchain infrastructure maturing toward practical, compliant use cases.
Excited for what's next in this journey! $DUSK #dusk
