Dusk Evolution to Multilayer Architecture
Dusk Modular Evolution
Executive Summary
Dusk is evolving into a three‑layer modular stack that cuts integration costs and timelines while preserving the privacy and regulatory advantages that set the network apart. The new architecture slots a consensus/data‑availability/settlement layer (DuskDS) beneath an EVM execution layer (DuskEVM) and a forthcoming privacy layer (DuskVM).
Why the change?
It accelerates application rollout;
Integrations with wallets, bridges, exchanges, and service providers are faster thanks to standard Ethereum tooling;
Existing EVM dApps migrate with minimal code changes, eliminating bespoke work once required for native Dusk;
Codebase becomes smaller, cheaper to maintain, and inherits proven EVM scalability from day one.
