At the start of 2026, the privacy track is ushering in major progress. After years of development, Dusk Network's mainnet officially launched on January 7. The core selling point of this project lies in how it simultaneously addresses two seemingly contradictory requirements: transaction privacy and regulatory compliance.

From a technical perspective, DuskEVM provides Solidity compatibility, reducing developer migration costs. The Phoenix and Moonlight two operating modes, combined with zero-knowledge proof technology, allow transaction data to protect privacy while meeting requirements of European regulatory frameworks such as MiCA and MiFID II. This is particularly significant for institutional trading scenarios.

What's more interesting is the RWA direction — the wave of real assets on-chain has already begun. Tokenization of traditional financial assets like bonds and securities requires infrastructure that can both ensure privacy and comply with regulations. Dusk has found its positioning here. $DUSK, as the ecosystem's fuel token, is gradually playing an increasingly prominent role in connecting traditional finance and DeFi. The entire track is worth paying attention to.
