Why does developer familiarity matter so much for privacy blockchains?
Since early January 2026, DuskEVM is live on mainnet, and this feels like an important step for real adoption. Developers can deploy Solidity smart contracts using tools they already understand, while privacy is handled at the protocol level instead of being added later.
What I personally like about this approach is how practical it feels. Many privacy-focused chains ask developers to relearn everything. Dusk doesn’t. It keeps the environment familiar, but upgrades what’s possible by adding built-in confidentiality. That balance matters.
From an educational perspective, DuskEVM shows that innovation doesn’t always mean breaking habits. Sometimes it means improving what already works. Over the long term, this design could help more builders create private financial applications that institutions and everyday users can actually trust and use, without friction.
