Dusk Network is a privacy focused blockchain built for regulated finance. It combines zero knowledge cryptography with smart contracts to enable confidential assets, compliant DeFi, and on chain securities. Using a proof of stake consensus, Dusk delivers fast finality, low fees, and energy efficiency. Developers can build privacy preserving applications without sacrificing auditability, while institutions gain tools for tokenization and settlement. As demand grows for transparent yet confidential financial infrastructure, Dusk positions itself as a bridge between Web3 innovation and real world regulatory requirements. Its ecosystem continues evolving through community governance, research driven development, and partnerships across global markets worldwide.

Dusk is building the future of regulated, privacy-first finance. 🚀 In 2026, **DuskTrade** launches as Dusk’s first real-world asset application, bringing €300M+ in tokenized securities on-chain in collaboration with **NPEX**, a fully regulated Dutch exchange. The waitlist opens this January.

This month also marks the **DuskEVM mainnet launch**, enabling seamless Solidity deployments while settling on Dusk’s Layer 1—unlocking compliant DeFi and RWA use cases.

With **Hedger**, Dusk delivers compliant privacy on EVM using zero-knowledge proofs, balancing confidentiality and auditability by design.
