One week into 2026, the crypto world is buzzing about the official launch of the DuskEVM mainnet. This is a massive milestone for @Dusk because it solves a major developer headache: choosing between Ethereum’s ecosystem and privacy. With the DuskEVM, developers can now deploy standard Solidity smart contracts that inherit the network’s native Zero-Knowledge privacy.
The "Hedger" module is the secret sauce here, allowing for confidential transactions within an EVM environment. This means decentralized applications (dApps) can now offer private payroll, confidential trading, and secure identity management while still being fully auditable by regulators. As more developers port their projects from Ethereum to $DUSK , we expect to see a surge in the ecosystem's Total Value Locked (TVL). If you are looking for the next evolution of Layer 1 technology, #dusk is the network to watch.
