#dusk_foundation The vision of @dusk_foundation is becoming clearer as major milestones approach in 2026. Dusk is not just another Layer-1 blockchain — it is purpose-built for regulated and privacy-preserving financial infrastructure. One of the most important upcoming developments is DuskTrade, launching in 2026 as Dusk’s first real-world asset (RWA) application. Built in collaboration with NPEX, a fully regulated Dutch exchange holding MTF, Broker, and ECSP licenses, DuskTrade aims to bring more than €300M in tokenized securities on-chain. With the waitlist opening in January, this marks a serious step toward compliant on-chain capital markets.
Equally significant is the DuskEVM mainnet, launching in the second week of January. DuskEVM allows developers to deploy standard Solidity smart contracts while settling securely on Dusk’s Layer-1. This removes friction for institutions and unlocks compliant DeFi and RWA use cases without sacrificing privacy. Through Hedger, Dusk introduces compliant privacy on EVM using zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption, enabling transactions that are private yet auditable — a critical requirement for regulated finance. With $DUSK powering this ecosystem, #Dusk is positioning itself as a foundational layer for the future of institutional blockchain adoption$.
