Some paths are destined to be difficult, but it is precisely because they are hard that they are worth walking.

The reality of Web3 is quite stark. Privacy protection and regulatory compliance are like two towering mountains, and many projects choose to compromise—either patching issues later or ignoring risks and rushing ahead. Truly innovative projects that address both issues from the architecture level are few and far between.

Since 2018, Dusk Network has been betting on this steepest path. Its approach is straightforward: instead of adding privacy after the fact or developing first and considering regulation later, it embeds zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption from the very beginning of Layer 1 design. Transaction details can be hidden, but audit rules remain transparent—this is an interesting balance point.

What has Hedger Alpha changed? It was the first time this logic was truly implemented within the EVM ecosystem. Institutional-grade DeFi and RWA applications no longer need to choose between the two: core data remains undisclosed, yet compliance requirements are still met. By January 2026, the DuskEVM mainnet will launch, allowing Solidity contracts to be deployed directly. Complex privacy integrations are greatly simplified, and when real assets like securities and bonds are on-chain, the ongoing tug-of-war between technology and compliance can finally come to an end.

CreatorPad pushes this capability downstream. It doesn’t make things difficult for creators and institutions—instead, it starts from familiar tools like Notion, enabling ideas to take shape quickly. Some use it to issue privacy-protected digital funds, while enterprises migrate bond assets on-chain. The underlying privacy and compliance logic have been properly handled, so business parties can focus solely on their work. The DUSK token plays a role in incentivizing and coordinating within the ecosystem, making value flow more smoothly.

This isn’t a story about showing off skills; rather, it’s a bit of a humble story—long-term success in complex endeavors is like this. Dusk Network has chosen this rhythm. For those truly committed to deepening in the privacy finance field, CreatorPad is right here.
