DuskEVM and the Future of Compliant Privacy on Ethereum-Compatible Apps
Most blockchains force a trade-off between privacy and composability. @dusk_foundation is taking a different path. Through its modular architecture and upcoming DuskEVM, Dusk enables developers to deploy familiar Solidity smart contracts while settling on a privacy-focused Layer 1.
DuskEVM, launching in January, removes one of the biggest barriers to adoption: tooling friction. Developers don’t need to learn a new language or framework — they can build EVM applications while benefiting from Dusk’s native privacy and compliance features. This makes Dusk especially attractive for institutions and regulated DeFi platforms.
What truly stands out is Hedger, Dusk’s approach to compliant privacy on EVM. Using zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption, Hedger allows transactions to remain confidential while still being auditable when required. This is a critical requirement for regulated financial use cases and something most blockchains fail to address properly.
By combining EVM compatibility with privacy-first settlement, @Dusk is building infrastructure for the next phase of blockchain adoption — one where compliance and confidentiality are not optional. $DUSK isn’t just another L1, it’s a specialized financial network.
