Eight full years. You ask me, in the ever-changing world of blockchain, how much effort does it take to stick to a promise? My answer is—more than 2,900 days and nights of refinement.

Starting from that pioneering technical document in Amsterdam in 2018, we have experienced much noise and solitude. While other projects chase hot trends, Dusk took the steepest path—using Rust to build, line by line, that seemingly distant "compliant privacy" ecosystem deep in the code.

The turning point came. On the morning of January 7, 2025, the mainnet officially launched. At that moment, I didn't celebrate; instead, I felt a kind of tranquility never before experienced—like seeing the first light on the horizon after a polar night. From then on, we no longer talk into the air; what we hold in our hands is a real product.

In the past, RWA (Real World Assets) was like the moon in the sky—visible but out of reach. Now, it's different. When you see the Dutch stock exchange NPEX officially connect to the Dusk network, everything changes.

The vision on the PPT has turned into real financial innovation. Over 200 million euros in scale, heading toward 300 million euros of real assets, with entities like Momo Medical and Van Aalst Group, are digitizing and circulating assets through blockchain technology. This is not just a concept; it is the market reality happening right now.
