Today I want to give newcomers a brief overview of the Dusk project. These actions in 2026 are indeed quite valuable.

Dusk is essentially a Layer 1 blockchain that started back in 2018, with a very clear positioning — it aims to address privacy protection while complying with regulatory frameworks. Honestly, this combination is quite rare in the entire blockchain space. Think about it: most projects either pursue decentralization and privacy at all costs or aim to emulate traditional finance but compromise on privacy. Dusk tries to balance both, which is its core differentiator.

The latest key development is the launch of the DuskEVM mainnet in the second week of January. This is very practical for developers — they can write smart contracts in Solidity without learning new tools or doing any adaptation, and the final settlement and privacy protection are handled by the underlying Dusk layer. This significantly reduces the development costs for compliant DeFi applications and physical asset tokenization, which should accelerate the landing of ecological applications.

Secondly, the collaboration project with Dutch licensed institution NPEX, DuskTrade, is officially launching in 2026. This is not just a PPT project but a real ecosystem implementation — it is expected to drive over €300 million in securities assets onto the chain, and the reservation channel is already open. This indicates genuine financial scenarios are supporting the ecosystem.

Lastly, a mention of the Hedger technology, which has already released a test version. It uses a dual encryption mechanism to solve privacy and compliance issues faced by traditional financial institutions entering Web3, which indeed hits the market demand.

Overall, Dusk’s approach is quite clear — use technology stacks to reduce the difficulty of developing compliant applications, and verify the ecosystem’s feasibility through real financial cooperation projects. This cycle is essential to attract more traditional financial institutions and developers.

Forget it, just go all in on DuskTrade, this 300 million euro project. I've long believed in Dusk's privacy + compliance approach, and finally there's a project that dares to do this. The launch of DuskEVM indeed reduces development costs, and the ecosystem's takeoff depends on this. NPEX collaboration is not just talk; having real funds makes a difference. Hedger's dual encryption system is something traditional financial institutions have been waiting for. This is real value, unlike some projects that just talk with PPTs. I'm really looking forward to 2026; betting that Dusk can become the next game-changer.

Privacy + Compliance combination确实少见，但DuskTrade能落地吗？ --- 300 million euros in assets on the chain sounds pretty appealing, but I'm worried it's just another fundraising pitch. --- EVM compatibility, developers will definitely be interested. --- Why does it feel like Dusk is targeting financial institutions? Something seems off about this approach. --- Hedger's double encryption... Would traditional financial institutions really use this? Suspicious. --- Since 2018, I've been involved, but can 2026 be the turnaround? --- NPEX's endorsement still carries some weight, but we’ll see after it launches. --- Can regulation + privacy be achieved simultaneously? That’s a bit of a mystery, bro. --- DuskEVM indeed reduces costs, but what about ecosystem applications? It’s still empty now. --- The demand for compliant DeFi is real, and Dusk has found the right direction. --- Opening the reservation channel is a good thing, but the real test is when it’s implemented.

Wait, can DuskTrade really handle 300 million euros in assets? Sounds a bit exaggerated. Privacy + compliance is indeed a fresh approach, but can the Netherlands really approve it? Many projects are working on EVM compatibility; it doesn't seem that rare. Hedger double encryption? Sounds like a gimmick; the key is to look at the actual application scenarios. Launching only in 2026, we have to wait that long. They might have overhyped this time... let's wait for actual data. Compliance is indeed necessary, but who can quantitatively assess regulatory risks? Nice words, but I don't know how the real situation is. Honestly, there are many projects doing privacy well, but very few can truly meet regulatory standards. Is the 300 million euros in existing assets or incremental? Where did this number come from?

Dutch license + 300 million euros assets on the chain, this time Dusk is really getting serious --- Wait, can DuskTrade really go live in 2026 as scheduled? The reservation channel is open, why haven't I heard about it --- Can privacy + compliance really be perfectly balanced? Or is it just another compromise --- I believe in DuskEVM's cost reduction this time, but can the ecosystem applications keep up? Won't it end up abandoned again? --- Compliance DeFi sounds good, but I'm worried it's just another capital game of words --- Hedger's dual encryption mechanism hits the demand spot, but will traditional financial institutions really use it... --- A clear tech stack is clear, but the key still depends on the real-world application implementation --- 300 million euros is probably an estimate, don't let it become just a number in a PPT --- This project idea is indeed more clear-headed than most, it all depends on execution
