The launch of Hedger Alpha on the $DUSK EVM testnet marks an important milestone for privacy-focused blockchain infrastructure. With this release, @Dusk is demonstrating how confidential transactions can coexist with smart contracts, opening new possibilities for private payments and compliant DeFi.
Unlike traditional blockchains where balances and transfers are fully transparent, Hedger Alpha allows users to keep transaction amounts and wallet balances hidden while still benefiting from on-chain execution. Hedger Alpha introduces functionality that lets users move funds between public and private balances, send confidential transfers between Hedger wallets, and track activity through a dedicated interface.
This design reflects Dusk’s broader vision of programmable privacy, where users maintain financial confidentiality without sacrificing usability or regulatory alignment. For builders and testers on DuskEVM, this is a clear signal that privacy is becoming a native feature rather than an afterthought.
As adoption of privacy-preserving finance grows, networks that combine compliance, usability, and confidentiality will stand out. With Hedger Alpha live, Dusk continues to strengthen its position as a leader in privacy infrastructure for Web3. The progress being made on DuskEVM highlights why remains central to the future of secure, private, and scalable blockchain applications. #dusk
