Web3 has transitioned from wild expansion to compliant implementation, and this turning point has exposed a core contradiction: how to meet regulatory requirements without losing the flexibility of technological innovation?
In the past two years, a project idea has been quite interesting. This Layer1 project, established as early as 2018, is specifically designed for regulated financial scenarios at the underlying architecture level. Unlike the "one-size-fits-all" approach of other projects, they adopted a modular layered design—separating the settlement layer, application layer, and privacy layer—ensuring the security and decentralization of Layer1 itself while leaving ample flexibility for upper-layer applications.
The practical significance lies here: different countries and regions have varying regulatory requirements, and this architecture can be precisely adapted to each. Institutional-grade applications requiring stable and efficient infrastructure are also addressed. Fundamentally, this solves a long-standing industry problem—where the lines of technological innovation and compliance requirements, which once seemed parallel, now have the potential to intersect.
From compliant DeFi to RWA tokenization, these key scenarios have also overcome previous technical bottlenecks. At the beginning of 2026, the project announced several important developments: the DuskEVM-compatible application layer mainnet will officially launch in the second week of January. The value release of this ecosystem may just be beginning.
