Dusk as a Layer 1 public chain established in 2018 has been making frequent moves in the compliant finance sector recently. The project's strategy targeting the regulated finance track is quite clear — partnering with Dutch exchange NPEX (holding full MTF, Broker and other licenses) to build the DuskTrade platform, with plans to open a waitlist in January, followed by launching tokenized securities worth over €300 million on-chain. The implementation speed of this compliant RWA is indeed not slow.

On the technical level, DuskEVM mainnet is scheduled to launch in the second week of January, compatible with Solidity smart contract development environment, meaning developers can deploy compliant DeFi and RWA applications on this chain. What's more interesting is the design of the Hedger module — implementing auditable privacy transactions based on zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption technology, with the Alpha version already launched for testing. This mechanism allows financial institutions to protect transaction privacy while accepting necessary audits, striking a balance between compliance and privacy.

Dusk has also established a partnership with Chainlink, introducing its oracle service to enhance the credibility of on-chain data. From the project's positioning, the DUSK token is not only a trading tool but also represents a form of participation right in compliant financial infrastructure. The gradual entry of institutional capital coupled with ecosystem development makes this track's growth potential worth paying attention to.
