A new player enters the compliant RWA track in 2026. Dusk, a Layer1 project that has been cultivating since 2018, has recently made two major moves worth noting.

First, let's talk about DuskTrade. It is collaborating with licensed Dutch exchange NPEX to bring over €300 million worth of tokenized securities onto the blockchain. This is not just hype—it's real scale and solid trading infrastructure. Considering the current demands of the RWA track, compliant trading gateways have always been a bottleneck. This time, they have created a benchmark product.

On the technical side, DuskEVM mainnet is scheduled to launch in the second week of January, meaning Solidity developers can deploy smart contracts directly. The underlying layer is Layer1 settlement, with compatibility for the EVM ecosystem on top. In other words, you no longer need to learn a completely new programming language for compliance—existing toolchains can be used directly. The integration of Hedger's zero-knowledge proof technology ensures that transaction data is both private and auditable. This combination is designed specifically for regulatory scenarios, and an alpha version has already been released.

From an ecosystem perspective, Dusk has a partnership endorsement with Chainlink, and its modular architecture allows for expansion. RWA has indeed been a hot topic in recent years, but few projects have successfully integrated compliance and technology implementation. If we consider participants capable of thriving in this track, Dusk's combination of these features makes it quite interesting.

300 million euros moved on-chain, this time it's not PPT fundraising Dusk's set of strategies indeed targets regulatory scenarios, but how many institutions are really willing to use it? Still observing Zero-knowledge proofs plus audits sound perfect, but will the gas fees explode again? RWA (Real-World Assets) is a hot trend, but the compliance ceiling is right there; how fast it can grow is hard to say Chainlink's endorsement is good, but it mainly depends on whether the EVM mainnet in January can truly operate stably

Compliance trading infrastructure, this time Dusk is serious --- Wait, 300 million euros on the chain? If this really materializes, RWA will truly have a business --- Solidity developers can directly use existing tools, this idea is brilliant, saves effort --- Zero-knowledge proof plus auditing, this is tailor-made for regulation --- Endorsement from a licensed Dutch exchange is much more reliable than those conceptual projects --- The question is whether the ecosystem can keep up after DuskEVM goes live, otherwise it’s just a pretty shell --- Brothers, this is the proper way for RWA to play, not just hype concepts --- Chainlink’s endorsement still carries some weight, but Dusk’s success depends on execution --- Let’s wait until January to see if it can really start, then decide --- Balancing compliance and developer friendliness, this combination is indeed sophisticated --- The scale of 300 million euros isn’t big, but with a licensed exchange backing, it’s enough --- I just want to see if it’s another big hype, stay tuned

Wow, does NPEX really dare to put 300 million euros on the chain? If this really takes off, RWA will truly change the game. --- Compliance + EVM compatibility? Finally, someone has figured out how to do it. Previously, those RWA projects were just talk on paper. --- Using zero-knowledge proofs for auditing is a brilliant idea—privacy preserved while passing regulatory scrutiny. --- Chainlink endorsement + modular architecture, the structure is solid, now it’s just about execution. --- Only now starting to move since 2018, Dusk’s pace is really a bit slow. --- DuskEVM launches in January, and a bunch of Solidity developers will need to migrate. Can the ecosystem keep up? --- Tokenized securities worth 300 million euros—this is not just hype. Real trading infrastructure is finally here. --- Honestly, it looks good, but the truly profitable opportunities in RWA are still ahead. Right now, just laying the groundwork. --- The move to be compatible with the EVM ecosystem is a smart strategy, saving many developers from relearning new languages. --- Is Hedger’s ZK technology really that reliable, or is it just another round of hype?

Really? 300 million euros just went directly on the chain? I need to see if NPEX is truly licensed... I've heard compliance RWA many times, but this time feels different, backed by real assets. EVM compatibility is still a clever move, saving developers from having to learn a new language. With Chainlink endorsement, but ultimately it depends on the real user data after DuskEVM goes live. There are so many projects in the RWA track, only a few are expected to survive until 2026. Whether Dusk can break through depends on what happens next. Two hundred million euros? That's the most solid number I've seen in the RWA track, not some hype. Zero-knowledge proofs combined with audits sound like regulators will buy into it, and this approach is definitely on the right track. Developers can deploy directly using existing toolchains, which is crucial for the ecosystem's growth. Honestly, a compliant trading gateway has always been a pain point for RWA. Has someone finally solved it this time? Interesting, but I still want to wait until January to see how the market reacts after DuskEVM's mainnet launch.

Compliance + technical implementation, this is the correct way to open up RWA 300 million euros is not a small number, and NPEX's endorsement is also convincing. Dusk is indeed different this time

Haha, 300 million euros on the chain, finally someone is taking compliance seriously --- DuskEVM mainnet is coming, this time it's really not just talk --- To be honest, there have been many RWA projects before, but very few can truly connect with regulators. Dusk's combination punch really hits the mark --- Zero-knowledge proof + transaction privacy + auditability, this design is quite impressive --- Backed by Chainlink, cooperating with licensed Dutch exchanges, this is not a story built on fundraising hype --- EVM compatibility saves developers from learning new languages. They are serious about the developer experience --- RWA has been a hot topic for so long, and Dusk is truly rare in integrating technology and compliance --- Mainnet launching in one month, let's see the actual performance then. Hopefully it won't be another PPT project --- Modular architecture + Chainlink combo, the scalability is definitely sufficient --- The compliance trading gateway is indeed a bottleneck, but 300 million euros to make it work is what counts

Critiques of cutting meat but not cutting love: 1. Moving 300 million euros onto the chain, this time it's not just talk, there's some substance. 2. Compliance trading has indeed been stuck for a long time; Dusk has come up with a prototype, let's see how far it can go. 3. EVM compatibility, privacy auditing—finally, a regulatory-friendly Layer1 that someone is taking seriously. 4. Since 2018, it's been laid out; if it really materializes soon, those previous boasts won't all be empty talk. 5. DuskTrade + NPEX, the Dutch are serious; this time, it might really be different. 6. The compliance entry point has been stuck for so long; if Dusk comes out, I’ll have to reassess this track. 7. Chainlink endorsement, zero-knowledge proofs, EVM compatibility—a well-coordinated combo punch. 8. DuskEVM launching in the second week of January? Mark it down; we’ll have to watch this. 9. With so many RWA opportunities, only those that truly align technology and compliance are the real winners. 10. Starting RWA now feels a bit late? But Dusk’s approach still shows some finesse.

300 million euros on the chain, this time it's not just a PPT --- EVM compatibility + zero-knowledge proofs, this combo really packs a punch --- Compliance trading has always been a bottleneck, Dusk finally has some progress --- Wait, backed by Chainlink? That really gives this ecosystem a different kind of imagination --- Since 2018, finally making a breakthrough? The key still depends on whether the mainnet in January can stay stable --- RWA has been a hot topic for so long, truly few projects can land, Dusk's approach looks quite reliable --- Not needing to relearn a language is really a blessing for developers --- Real transaction volume of 300 million euros, this is not some empty hype project
