Web3 finance is moving from disorderly expansion to regulated governance. A group of projects committed to technological初心 have begun to emerge. Dusk Foundation, a Layer1 player founded in 2018, has been dedicated to the "privacy + compliance" track over the years, building infrastructure with a modular architecture. As we enter 2026, several major moves have been implemented successively, bringing this project back into the public eye.

First, the most关注— the DuskEVM mainnet launching in the second week of January. This innovation解决了 a long-standing bottleneck: how to combine the EVM ecosystem with compliant Layer1? The answer from DuskEVM is direct compatibility with Solidity smart contracts, allowing developers zero migration costs, with existing DeFi and RWA application code to run directly. This is hugely significant for institutional users—no need to relearn new languages, no need to overhaul, and the native settlement capabilities of Layer1 ensure transaction security and speed. The headaches faced by traditional EVM chains in regulatory scenarios are also解决了.

The core of technological innovation lies in the Hedger方案. By combining zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption technologies, it ensures that transactions are both private (protecting user assets and transaction details) and auditable (regulators can see the necessary data). This is所谓的“隐私可审计交易”. It sounds复杂, but it hits the real pain points of institutional-level users—balancing privacy protection with regulatory compliance. Under this dilemma, the market需求 becomes clear. The Hedger Alpha version is already running, with ongoing refinement.

From track selection to technical方案, the logic of this project is self-consistent: in the wave of compliance, those who can best reconcile privacy and regulation will掌握 the next wave of growth opportunities.
