In 2026, a major mainstream Layer 1 public chain continues to make moves. As an early player since 2018, it’s now showcasing new innovations.

What is the most core change? In mid-January, DuskEVM mainnet officially launched. Solidity developers can deploy compliant DeFi applications directly without any modifications. What’s the logic behind this? It integrates zero-knowledge proof technology at the underlying layer while maintaining compatibility with the EVM ecosystem—simply put, it aims to provide privacy protection without compromising the developer experience. The migration of privacy public chain ecosystems has always been a big challenge, and this solution effectively addresses that.

Even more interesting is that Hedger Alpha has already been implemented. Zero-knowledge proofs combined with homomorphic encryption enable transaction privacy and regulatory auditing simultaneously. What does this mean? Institutional-level financial services can now be securely conducted on-chain, moving beyond mere theoretical feasibility.

Looking at ecosystem deployment—DuskTrade, launched jointly with a compliant Dutch exchange, is now focusing on the RWA (Real-World Asset) track. Tokenized securities worth over 300 million euros are connected on-chain through MTF/Broker compliant licenses. The open whitelist in January signals the beginning of real-world assets migrating onto the chain. As a native ecosystem token, it is used for staking, gas payments, and governance rights throughout the entire operation. As on-chain institutional trading heats up, the token’s value capture pathways are becoming clearer.

From technological innovation to ecosystem application, this public chain is striking an interesting balance—privacy is no longer the enemy of regulation, and compliance doesn’t have to sacrifice user experience. It appears to be building a bridge between traditional finance and Web3.

Can compliance and privacy really coexist? This time it doesn't seem so虚拟 --- Old players' intuition tells me this time might be different; zero-knowledge proofs are truly being used --- 300 million euros in RWA directly on-chain, are institutions really daring to play? --- Honestly, DuskEVM is quite interesting this time; developer migration without感无感确实解决了大痛点 --- Can privacy and auditing be satisfied simultaneously? I want to see how the actual效果如何 --- The logic of staking capturing value is clear; now it depends on whether on-chain transaction volume can keep up --- Another bridge dream? But at least this time there's something truly落地

From the perspective of balancing privacy and compliance, someone has finally cracked the code on this issue. Wait, can the tokenized securities worth 300 million euros really be successfully on-chain? Institutions are still a bit cautious, right? DuskEVM's seamless compatibility with Solidity is indeed comfortable, saving the hassle of migrating ecosystems. Is RWA really being implemented? Isn't it just another hype? This time, it's a bit different. The metaphor of "cutting off the root" is appropriate; the difficulty of migrating privacy public chains indeed needs to be addressed this way. Hedger Alpha combined with homomorphic encryption—honestly, this tech stack combination is quite powerful. A clear path for token value capture is a good thing; now it depends on whether the subsequent ecosystem can keep up. The veteran players who entered in 2018 are only now pushing this stuff—are they a bit late? Compliance doesn't ruin the user experience either; balancing this is extremely difficult. Can it really be achieved? That Dutch exchange daring to follow suit shows that, at least in Europe, this solution still has recognition.

Wow, finally someone has reconciled the pair of enemies, privacy and compliance? About time it was done this way. Wait, 300 million euros of RWA just went on-chain like that? Do institutions really dare to play? But honestly, I’m still a bit confused about the zero-knowledge proof set; as long as it can run, that’s fine haha. DuskEVM deployed directly without modifications? If this can really be implemented, migrating the ecosystem will be much easier. I need to keep an eye on this combination of privacy transactions with auditing; it feels like what on-chain finance should look like. If this really works out, other public chains should be panicking, right? Token capture path is now clear... interesting, is this not just pure technical hype this time? Staking, Gas, governance—all in one package. I find it a bit tempting. Hey, is RWA really about to take off? Or is it just another concept hype? Can compliance and user experience be achieved at the same time? I’m just waiting to see if this gets hyped up again.

Wait a minute, can privacy + compliance really coexist? Isn't that always been opposing... But looking at how DuskEVM directly supports EVM compatibility, it does have some substance. Real institutional business on the chain... It's nice to call it the future, but to be honest, we still need to wait for the licenses to be fully sorted out. The tokenization of the €300 million RWA securities is the core. The pledge rights are well-designed. To be honest, privacy public chains have never solved the migration problem, but this time they've found a way. Why does DuskTrade sound like a certain trading pair... but having a Dutch license is indeed reliable. It feels like repeating a route that has already been validated; where exactly is the innovation? The combination of zero-knowledge proofs, homomorphic encryption... I've seen quite a few claims last year, but few are actually used. Does a clear token capture path necessarily mean it will rise? That logic is a bit optimistic. The technology is good, but the ecosystem still depends on user adoption; it's too early to tell now.

Alright, this time there’s actually something substantial, not just a white paper with empty promises. Honestly, no one really understood how privacy and compliance could coexist before. It only counts when institutions really come in, don’t just keep shouting slogans. I still have some doubts about RWA; 300 million euros sounds pretty impressive. But at least the capture logic of the ecosystem token is finally clear, which is better than those vague descriptions before. Are there more specific data on staking yields, or are we just hyping again? I just want to see if this Dusk can truly attract institutions in the end, not just reputation institutions.
