🚀 Big week for @dusk_foundation and $DUSK! January 2026 is heating up with major milestones on the horizon.

The DuskEVM mainnet is set to launch in the 2nd week of January — this is Dusk’s game-changing EVM-compatible application layer! Developers and institutions can now deploy standard Solidity smart contracts with seamless settlement directly on Dusk’s secure Layer 1. This massively reduces integration friction, unlocks compliant DeFi, and paves the way for powerful RWA (Real-World Asset) applications.

Even more exciting: DuskTrade — Dusk’s first flagship RWA platform — is officially launching in 2026 in partnership with NPEX, a fully regulated Dutch exchange holding MTF, Broker, and ECSP licenses. This compliant trading & investment platform aims to bring €300M+ in tokenized securities on-chain, combining institutional-grade compliance with Dusk’s built-in privacy features. The waitlist opens this month — early access incoming!

What sets Dusk apart is its focus on compliant privacy. Through Hedger, they enable privacy-preserving yet fully auditable transactions on EVM using advanced zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption — perfect for regulated financial use cases where transparency meets confidentiality.

Founded back in 2018, @dusk_foundation has been building a modular Layer 1 blockchain specifically for regulated finance, compliant DeFi, and tokenized assets — with privacy and auditability baked in from day one.

With $DUSK currently trading around $0.057–$0.06 (up nicely in recent sessions), this feels like the perfect setup for serious momentum as mainnet goes live and RWA adoption accelerates in Europe under MiCA rules.

Who’s joining the waitlist? Bullish on privacy + compliance in 2026? Drop your thoughts below!
