Major recent milestones shaping the future of Dusk
The @Dusk has been hitting important ecosystem milestones as Dusk evolves into a regulated, privacy-first Layer-1 for real-world finance. After launching mainnet in early 2025 — producing its first immutable block — the team delivered a two-way bridge to move assets securely between Dusk and Ethereum-compatible networks, using zero-knowledge proofs to protect privacy during cross-chain transfers.
In late 2025, DuskEVM public testnet launched, enabling developers to deploy smart contracts in an EVM environment while benefiting from Dusk’s privacy and compliance capabilities.
Roadmap priorities for 2025 also include features like Hyperstaking — letting contracts stake custom logic — Zedger beta for compliant asset tokenization, Lightspeed EVM-compatible L2, and Dusk Pay for MiCA-compliant payments, marking steady progress toward regulated DeFi and institutional on-chain use cases.
