Recently, the market has noticed an interesting phenomenon—some public chain projects are attempting to run privacy protection and compliance regulation in parallel. $DUSK is a representative of this trend. As a public chain focused on financial scenarios, it has clear technical routes in both privacy and compliance dimensions.

Specifically, the project plans to launch the RWA application DuskTrade in cooperation with the Dutch compliant exchange NPEX in 2026, aiming to bring over 300 million euros worth of tokenized securities onto the chain. This level of RWA implementation indeed reflects progress in institutional-grade compliance.

On the technical side, it is equally noteworthy. In the second week of January, the DuskEVM mainnet is set to go live—meaning developers in the Solidity ecosystem can directly migrate their projects, reducing development costs. Even more distinctive is the Hedger product, which uses zero-knowledge proofs to enable auditable private transactions on the EVM chain. This approach is still relatively rare in the DeFi space. Coupled with ecosystem collaborations with Chainlink, the regulatory toolchain appears to be gradually coming together.

Looking at the project's history, since its establishment in 2018, it has steadily advanced in technical accumulation, ecosystem expansion, and compliance integration. Especially in the current context of rising RWA tracks and increasing privacy demands in DeFi, such public chains that possess both privacy capabilities and emphasize compliance are finding their own positioning. Both developers and capital are re-evaluating the value of this niche track.

Interesting, another story of "privacy + compliance dual-track." When was the last time I heard this narrative... Ironically, no one is using the zero-knowledge proof from that project now. A commitment of 300 million euros is indeed impressive, but data shows that the landing rate for similar RWA financing commitments historically hovers around 12%. I suggest everyone check NPEX's trading volume before entering the market. So, will it really go live in 2026? Let's bet on the progress in half a year. Wait, from 2018 to now, why is it still less famous than a newly launched meme coin... This itself says a lot. Objectively speaking, zero-knowledge proofs do have some substance, but the dream of "privacy + compliance"—has it woken up yet?

Dual-track parallelism? To put it nicely, at the end of the day, it's still about wanting to enjoy privacy benefits while also pleasing regulators. Is that even possible? The 26-year promise is now being hyped quite aggressively. Let's wait and see. Zero-knowledge proof for privacy transactions does have some real potential, but will Solidity developers actually migrate over? That's the real question. With the RWA concept so popular, everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon. Can DUSK really land €300 million in tokenized securities? That seems a bit doubtful. The compliance toolchain has been integrated, but will exchanges actually accept it? It's called dual-track in a nice way, but in reality, it still depends on market sentiment. Founded in 2018, it’s taken so many years to reach this level. Is that steady progress or just slow? The Chainlink partnership sounds promising, but can this really add a few zeros to DUSK? Regulatory-friendly public chains have good prospects, but the ones that truly make money are always those willing to take risks.

Privacy + compliance dual-track approach, this idea is indeed innovative, but can it really be implemented? Wait, is the DuskEVM mainnet launching this week? I believe that developer migration costs will decrease, but Hedger's zero-knowledge proof audit for private transactions sounds easy to say but hard to do. 300 million euros RWA on the chain sounds like a lot, but I wonder how many institutions will actually dare to use it. 2026 still feels a bit far away. Privacy and compliance are inherently opposite, so how $DUSK will truly resolve this contradiction is worth following.

Wait a minute... DUSK is doing privacy and compliance? Isn't that trying to have it both ways? Why am I only seeing this now? I feel a bit late to the party.
