@Dusk #dusk $DUSK

The Big Milestone: Mainnet Launch

After nearly six years of development, the Dusk Mainnet officially went live in January 2026. This wasn't just a "beta" release; it's a fully operational Layer 1 blockchain designed specifically for regulated finance.

Instant Finality: Transactions settle in roughly 2 seconds, meeting the speed requirements for professional trading.

Privacy + Compliance: Unlike many privacy coins that struggle with regulations, Dusk uses Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to keep transactions private while remaining auditable for regulators—aligning with EU frameworks like MiCA.

📈 Market Performance & $DUSK Token

The token has seen significant volatility and growth recently:

Price Action: In mid-January 2026, $DUSK saw a massive rally, surging over 500% in 30 days and hitting highs around $0.30.

Current Value: As of early February, the price has seen some correction and is trading roughly between $0.08 and $0.22 depending on the exchange and liquidity.

Whale Activity: Recent reports show strategic accumulation by "whales" during the February market dips, suggesting continued institutional confidence.

💼 Ecosystem & Real-World Assets (RWA)

Dusk is currently the "boring" (in a good way) backbone of the RWA sector:

NPEX Partnership: The Dutch exchange NPEX is utilizing Dusk to move over €300 million in tokenized securities onto the chain.

DuskEVM: The launch of an EVM-compatible layer has made it much easier for Ethereum developers to port their apps over while keeping the underlying data private.

EURQ Stablecoin: Integration with Quantoz has brought a MiCA-compliant Euro electronic money token to the network, which is a massive deal for institutional settlement.
