As a Europe-focused compliant Web3 project, Dusk has been quite active recently. The zero-trust custody solution jointly launched with Cordial is now live on the NPEX platform. This solution is specifically designed to address the custody challenges of real-world assets (RWA). Its core logic is to ensure asset security through a zero-trust architecture—simply put, it does not rely on a single trusted source. More interestingly, they have also partnered with NPEX to introduce Chainlink's oracle technology, paving the way for standardized on-chain financial transactions. This is especially relevant for bringing regulated European securities assets onto the blockchain, finally having the infrastructure support needed.
