The "Mainnet" milestone is often the make-or-break moment for any Layer-1. For @dusk_foundation, the January 2026 launch of the DuskEVM wasn't just a technical update; it was the birth of a new category: Regulated DeFi.
While other chains are struggling with the transition from "meme-centric" volume to "value-centric" utility,
$DUSK is already ahead. Here is why the smart money is watching:
Solidity Compatibility: With the new EVM layer, developers don't have to learn a new language. They can port Ethereum dApps directly onto
#dusk and instantly gain native, auditable privacy features.The NPEX Power Move: We aren't talking about "pilot programs" anymore. The partnership with the Dutch exchange NPEX is set to bring over €300M in tokenized securities—equities and bonds—directly onto the blockchain. This is real-world adoption in real-time.Hyperstaking is Live: For the community, the mainnet brings high-yield staking opportunities, securing the network while rewarding long-term holders.
The narrative of 2026 is clear: Institutional money doesn't move without compliance. By building a "MiCA-ready" infrastructure from day zero, @dusk_foundation has positioned
$DUSK as the primary settlement layer for European finance.
If you're looking for the intersection of privacy, compliance, and RWA, you've found it.
