Dusk's popularity has indeed been rising recently, especially with the EVM mainnet about to officially launch. The official key information released about what this project is building is quite interesting.

On the technical foundation, $DUSK serves as the native token driving the entire ecosystem, while providing full EVM compatibility—meaning developers can directly migrate using familiar Ethereum development tools and smart contract logic, significantly lowering the barrier to entry. But the real differentiation lies in the privacy layer. Through the Hedger module, Dusk achieves a balance of compliant privacy DeFi: transaction details are kept confidential, but the audit trail remains complete, which is crucial for institutional users.

In terms of ecosystem layout, it’s clear they are focusing on the compliant track. The team has already established partnerships with licensed financial institutions in multiple countries, and this is not just talk. For secure cross-chain operations, they have integrated verified protocols to reduce cross-chain risks.

The most exciting part is the application layer—DuskTrade, the first batch of RWA applications, is preparing to go live, directly handling regulated assets worth hundreds of millions of euros. This is not just a proof of concept but an on-chain application of real assets. From this perspective, Dusk is building an institutional-grade, privacy-friendly, and highly composable new DeFi ecosystem, and this direction is worth continuous observation.

Laughing out loud, it's the same old rhetoric of "institutional level" and "real assets." I bet five bucks that next month there will be news about "technical adjustments." Compliance and privacy sound great, but I'm just worried that when it actually launches, it will be another story. RWA worth hundreds of millions of euros? I just want to ask, how is this accounted for, who audits it? The Hedger module sounds like a new gimmick to hype concepts, but it really depends on whether it can be implemented in the future. Institutional users' honest thoughts: privacy and confidentiality, complete auditing—sounds like they want it all, and then some. It's usually the same hype before the mainnet launch; only after launch will the real test begin.

The balance point between compliance and privacy is indeed well managed, but how much volume it can truly support once launched remains a question mark.

Oops, the Hedger module really is a masterpiece, can privacy and compliance be balanced to this extent? Wait, can hundreds of millions of euros really be on-chain? I'm a bit looking forward to DuskTrade's performance after launch. The institutional-grade DeFi path might take a long time, but Dusk's approach is indeed somewhat different from others. Honestly, compared to projects that talk about privacy, this one backed by financial institutions is more reliable. EVM compatibility definitely lowers the barrier to entry, but the privacy layer is the core selling point, otherwise what's the difference from other L1s? In the past two years, there have suddenly been more voices in the compliance track. Could it be another next wave of the trend?

Now it feels like we're just waiting for the real test after the EVM launch. Whether RWA can be implemented successfully is the key.

Wow, RWA directly launching hundreds of millions of euros? This isn't just a joke, they're really doing it. The balance between compliance and privacy is being played aggressively; this is exactly what institutions want. Does anyone really believe this will change the DeFi landscape? Wait, on the day EVM launches, we need to pay attention—will it explode like Solana did back then? The name Hedger is well-chosen; it really is about hedging risks. But all talk aside, no matter how good the hype is, real trading volume is what matters.

The path of compliant privacy DeFi really has imagination, but the key still depends on whether DuskTrade can truly absorb those hundreds of millions of euros in assets. Sounds good, but can this kind of institutional-level thing really survive in a bear market? The Hedger module does have some substance, but handling privacy and audits simultaneously is easier said than done. RWA is indeed the future; it all depends on how Dusk will compete. Taking a steady approach on the compliance route, just not sure if it will get stuck somewhere. If the EVM mainnet launch can attract genuine institutional users, that would be great; otherwise, it might just be another self-congratulatory hype. The balance between privacy and compliance is quite well managed, but does the market really care about this? Hundreds of millions of euros in assets on the chain... have you thought about how serious the consequences would be if something goes wrong? Honestly, it's about trying to make Web3 the Goldman Sachs of the industry—can it work? That's the question. Institutional-level ecosystem sounds high-end, but will developers come? That’s the real key.

Compliance and privacy确实有想象力，但国内能用吗？ I’ve seen too much about EVM compatibility; the key is whether DuskTrade’s RWA can really be implemented. Onboarding hundreds of millions of euros in assets—if that happens, it’s really impressive... but let’s wait and see. The Hedger module is quite interesting, offering transaction confidentiality + complete auditing, which institutions definitely need. Another compliance project... these days, it seems everyone is competing in this space. Whether it can survive remains to be seen. Privacy + DeFi has never really been successfully executed before. Will Dusk be different this time? Promoting this heavily before the mainnet launch usually doesn’t bode well, haha.
