Dusk's upcoming EVM mainnet has attracted a lot of attention. The impressive aspect of this chain is that it can be compatible with Solidity smart contracts—developers can migrate their projects without having to overhaul everything—and it places the settlement layer on Dusk Layer1. The benefits of this approach are obvious: security and privacy features are maintained without compromise.

What’s even more interesting is the breakthrough at the technical level. Through solutions like Hedger, DuskEVM has made auditable private transactions a reality within the EVM ecosystem for the first time. What does this mean? Technologies like zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption, which once seemed "too aggressive" for financial applications, now finally have the opportunity to be implemented in regulated scenarios. What are they aiming for? Building a truly compliant DeFi ecosystem and DUSK asset applications. From the perspective of fundamental technological breakthroughs, this step is indeed crucial.
