I’m seeing Dusk entering its real infrastructure phase with DuskDS as the settlement core and the Phoenix and Moonlight dual mode that lets privacy and compliance coexist on chain.
Rusk node releases are still rolling with practical upgrades like better error handling and improvements around transaction inclusion and GraphQL safeguards which shows the team is tightening the core after mainnet.
Big forward signal for 2026 is the claimed DuskTrade plan with NPEX aiming at regulated tokenized securities at meaningful scale.
If It becomes real at scale we’re seeing Dusk move from narrative to real market rails.
