DUSK leverages privacy and compliance as dual engines to enter the financial infrastructure track, offering a somewhat different imagination space.

From a technical perspective, after the launch of DuskEVM mainnet in 2026, network performance will see a qualitative leap—while maintaining compatibility with the Ethereum ecosystem, block time will be reduced from 18 seconds to 6 seconds, and throughput will directly triple. This is a real competitive advantage for financial applications that require high efficiency and low latency.

More importantly, ecosystem implementation is worth paying attention to. Dusk has already partnered with the licensed Dutch exchange NPEX to transfer €300 million of traditional securities assets onto the chain. This is not just a concept; it’s a real RWA application—institutional investors now have a compliant channel to enter Web3, solving both risk and efficiency issues simultaneously.

In terms of token economic model, DUSK plays a key role within a three-layer architecture. Paying network fees, staking to maintain network security, and participating in governance decisions—all these functions will see the token’s practical use cases expand as RWA business volume grows. This demand-driven and value-capturing logic is precisely what makes a dark horse project prone to revaluation.

Of course, factors such as mainnet performance stability, the actual scale of on-chain transactions on NPEX, and regulatory policy changes are key variables that require ongoing monitoring.
