@dusk_foundation is pioneering the integration of blockchain into regulated financial markets with privacy and compliance at its core. #Dusk is a Layer-1 blockchain built for real-world asset tokenization, institutional-grade DeFi, and confidential financial applications. One of the most significant milestones is the upcoming DuskTrade launch in 2026, Dusk’s first regulated RWA platform developed in partnership with NPEX, a Dutch exchange holding MTF, Broker, and ECSP licenses, aiming to bring over €300M in tokenized securities on-chain.
On the technical side, DuskEVM provides an EVM-compatible application layer enabling developers to deploy Solidity smart contracts while settling transactions securely on Dusk’s Layer-1. Privacy-preserving transactions are further enhanced through Hedger, which uses zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption to create auditable yet confidential operations for regulated financial use cases. With $DUSK serving as the utility and governance token, the ecosystem supports staking, transaction fees, and network participation. By combining regulatory compliance, modular architecture, and privacy, Dusk is establishing itself as the go-to blockchain infrastructure for next-generation institutional and decentralized finance.
