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

On the technical front, the DuskEVM mainnet is scheduled to launch in the second week of January, compatible with Solidity smart contract development environments, meaning developers can deploy compliant DeFi and RWA applications on this blockchain. What's more interesting is the design of the Hedger module — implementing privacy-auditable 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 services to enhance the credibility of on-chain data. From the project's positioning, the DUSK token is not merely a trading tool, but rather represents a participation right in compliant finance infrastructure. The gradual influx of institutional capital combined with ecosystem development makes this track's growth potential worth paying attention to.
