Dusk (founded 2018) is a Layer-1 built for regulated finance—keeping data private while still proving everything is valid. Recent focus: a modular stack (stable settlement + EVM execution) and Hedger, bringing confidential EVM activity using encryption + zero-knowledge proofs. They also adopted Chainlink standards with NPEX for safer interop/data. On Jan 17, 2026, Dusk paused bridge services after unusual activity; core chain wasn’t impacted.
