#dusk $DUSK @Dusk
I am really into computer science and learning how different systems talk to each other. This week, something huge happened in the blockchain world because the DuskEVM mainnet is launching in the second week of January. You might wonder what that means. Basically, many developers already know how to write code using a language called Solidity because that is what Ethereum uses. In the past, if a developer wanted to build something on a private or regulated network, they had to learn a whole new language which was very frustrating and took a lot of time.
DuskEVM solves this problem because it is an application layer that is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. This means developers can take the smart contracts they already built and put them on Dusk without any friction. It is like having a universal adapter for your electronics. Even though the applications run on the EVM layer, they settle on the $DUSK Layer
1. This is important because the Layer 1 of Dusk is designed to be compliant and secure. It allows institutions to deploy standard Solidity smart contracts but still keep the benefits of a regulated network. This removes a lot of the blocks that were stopping big companies from using blockchain. When I think about how many apps are already out there, I realize that being able to move them to a more secure and private network like Dusk is a total game changer.
It makes it much easier for developers to create things like decentralized finance apps that actually follow the laws. I think we will see many new projects starting on $DUSK this year because of this launch. It is very cool to see how the architecture of these networks is becoming more modular and easier for everyone to use.
