Dusk, born in 2018, is a financial-grade Layer 1 blockchain deeply focused on compliance and privacy. Its modular architecture lays a solid foundation for institutional finance, compliant DeFi, and RWA tokenization. By 2026, a comprehensive technological upgrade will be implemented, with the Piecrust VM enhancing zero-knowledge performance by ten times. The dual-VM architecture, combined with the Hedger privacy protocol, achieves a perfect balance between transaction privacy and authorized auditing, with a settlement finality of 2-3 seconds better suited for institutional trading needs. The DuskEVM mainnet operates stably, embedding privacy protection and auditability into the protocol's foundation, creating a new paradigm of compliant privacy for financial infrastructure, and becoming a core choice for institutions going on-chain.
