#dusk $DUSK ## Dusk Network ($DUSK): The Privacy Pioneer for Regulated Finance
**Dusk ($DUSK)** is setting the standard for institutional Web3 as the first Layer-1 blockchain to merge **confidentiality with regulatory compliance**. With its mainnet now live in 2026, Dusk is transforming how real-world assets (RWAs) are traded on-chain.
### Key Highlights:
* **Compliant Privacy:** Uses Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) to keep transaction data private while remaining **MiCA-compliant** through selective disclosure for regulators.
* **Institutional Adoption:** Partnered with the Dutch exchange **NPEX** to tokenize over **€300 million** in securities.
* **DuskEVM:** Launching in Q1 2026, this allows Ethereum developers to easily migrate dApps into a private, secure environment.
* **Staking & Security:** Secured by the **SBA consensus** for instant finality, with $DUSK powering gas fees and validator rewards.
Dusk is the "boring" but essential infrastructure making institutional DeFi a reality.
