Privacy protection and regulatory compliance are often seen as two opposing poles, but Dusk Network is breaking this deadlock. This privacy Layer 1 built specifically for regulated finance finds a balance through zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption technologies, protecting transaction privacy while meeting audit requirements.
Recent progress has been quite rapid. After the successful launch of Hedger Alpha, privacy capabilities have been injected into the EVM-compatible ecosystem, and institutional-grade DeFi and RWA applications are beginning to emerge. This week—second week of January 2026—the launch of the DuskEVM mainnet has become the highlight. This means developers can now seamlessly deploy Solidity smart contracts, significantly lowering the deployment threshold. Real assets like securities and bonds can finally be securely issued and circulated on-chain.
CreatorPad is a new driving force within this ecosystem. This one-stop platform enables creators, project teams, and financial institutions to find their place. By starting easily with Notion, users can quickly build applications, then leverage Dusk’s modular architecture to deeply integrate high-quality content and RWA projects. Artists can issue privacy-protected digital collectibles, and financial institutions can tokenize bond funds—all maximizing value under DUSK token incentives.
Even more exciting is the upcoming launch of DuskTrade. This trading platform will introduce over €300 million worth of tokenized securities trading. Don’t miss the opening of the January listing. Privacy is evolving from an isolated feature into an infrastructure that integrates efficiency and compliance.

Is privacy and compliance really compatible? I don't believe it. Let's wait and see when DuskTrade launches.
---
Zero-knowledge proofs sound impressive, but is RWA on-chain circulation really reliable?
---
Another Layer 1 and another ecosystem narrative... Alright, I'll keep an eye on it.
---
CreatorPad integrates artists and bonds? That imagination is a bit far-fetched haha.
---
Tokenized securities worth 300 million euros, isn't this just a replay of traditional finance on the chain?
---
DuskEVM launches, giving Solidity developers another option, but how many actually use it?
---
Basically, it's still about solving regulatory issues, but whether it can survive is the key.
---
This time is really different, or is it just another death narrative? I bet it won't last more than two years.
---
There are already a bunch of privacy Layer 1s, why will Dusk stand out... unless institutions really buy in.

Privacy + compliance, if truly implemented, can Dusk handle it? It still seems to depend on how DuskTrade performs after launch.

Zero-knowledge proofs sound pretty impressive, but what about the gas fees? Has anyone calculated the miner tips for deploying Solidity contracts on DuskEVM?

Zero-knowledge proofs balance privacy and compliance? Easier said than done... However, the launch of DuskEVM mainnet is indeed impressive, significantly lowering the barrier for Solidity developers, and it's incredible if RWA can get off the ground.

Zero-knowledge proofs are decent for privacy, but there are very few projects that can truly be implemented... If Dusk really takes off this time, it could genuinely change the game rules.
Focusing on RWA and compliance is the right direction, much more reliable than those vague and intangible stuff.
DuskEVM sounds promising, but I'm worried it might just be another PPT coin story... Let's wait and see.
A securities trading volume of 300 million euros is not small. If it really gets going, institutions will likely pay attention.
CreatorPad... feels like the usual ecosystem pattern. Whether it can truly attract creators depends on the incentive design.
The combination of privacy + compliance is indeed fresh, unlike the previous all-or-nothing approach.
I'm just worried it will be hype for a while and then nothing will follow. I've seen this pattern many times in the crypto world.
By the way, why do projects now like to use tools like Notion? The idea of users quickly building things sounds hollow.
Is DuskEVM launching this week? That definitely warrants attention. Early participants are taking a risk for potential gains.
