The privacy compliance track has always been one of the most promising yet challenging directions in the Web3 space, and one project has quietly accumulated many highlights since 2018.

What makes it unique? Many projects like to hype concepts and chase hot topics, but this project has always focused on one thing—building privacy financial infrastructure that complies with regulations. This long-term approach is indeed rare and has helped it build a solid technical foundation and industry recognition.

At the start of 2026, actual progress has come quickly. In the second week of January, the DuskEVM mainnet was successfully launched, addressing many developers' pain points. Previously, building compliant applications required overcoming numerous technical barriers. Now, with DuskEVM, adaptation has become much easier for developers, and even ordinary teams can participate. This means the deployment speed of subsequent compliant applications may accelerate, and there is new room for ecosystem expansion.

Even more noteworthy is the advancement of ecosystem collaborations. Deep cooperation with the Dutch licensed exchange NPEX ensures compliance. After the launch of DuskTrade, it is expected to introduce over €300 million worth of tokenized securities on-chain, while also attracting participation from traditional financial institutions. This is not an empty promise but a real injection of funds and application scenarios, providing strong support for the project's value.

Meanwhile, the Hedger beta version launched around the same time is also interesting—it strikes a balance between privacy protection and auditing needs, allowing traditional institutions to confidently engage with Web3. Being able to handle technological iteration, compliance frameworks, and practical applications simultaneously truly demonstrates its potential and is worth paying attention to.
