Dusk Network (@dusk_foundation), a Layer-1 blockchain designed specifically for regulated finance since 2018, stands out by seamlessly combining privacy and compliance without compromises. Using zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption, transactions remain confidential while being fully auditable—making it ideal for institutions!
Major developments rolled out in January 2026:
• DuskEVM mainnet launched in the second week: Now you can deploy standard Solidity smart contracts, fully compatible with Ethereum tools like MetaMask and Hardhat. This allows easy migration of existing DeFi dApps to Dusk, with settlement on the native Layer-1. Powered by Hedger technology, it brings compliant privacy to EVM—enabling obfuscated order books and confidential transactions!
• DuskTrade set to launch in 2026: In partnership with NPEX (a regulated Dutch exchange with MTF, Broker, and ECSP licenses), this platform will bring €300M+ in tokenized securities on-chain. The waitlist opened in January! It’s a groundbreaking step for Europe: blockchain-powered security exchange with instant settlement (seconds instead of days), lower costs, and self-custody.
Why $DUSK has strong potential right now?
• The RWA narrative is exploding in 2026 (with giants like BlackRock and JPMorgan pushing tokenized assets).
• Strong Chainlink integration for reliable oracle data feeds.
• Current market cap hovers around $28-29M, with price in the ~$0.058-0.059 range—looks undervalued, especially with fresh mainnet momentum driving interest!
• Built-in regulatory advantages: KYC support, governance, and real-time visibility tailored for institutional adoption.
If you’re hunting for regulated DeFi and real-world assets infrastructure, Dusk could be the future backbone. Always DYOR, but I’m long-term bullish! 🚀
