The wave of on-chain real assets has arrived. When the RWA tokenization market surpasses one trillion yuan in 2026, a question faces all industry practitioners: how to fully digitize assets while preserving the two most important aspects for institutional investors—compliance and privacy?

Dusk Network has provided its answer. Unlike other general-purpose blockchains, this chain has been focused on financial applications from the very beginning. The team understands the core pain points when traditional financial assets encounter blockchain, so they have straightforwardly embedded privacy and compliance into its DNA. Institutions can issue digital securities on Dusk, keeping data confidential externally while maintaining transparency for regulators—this balance is easy to state but difficult to achieve.

Technical architecture is the core competitive advantage. The project introduces the Isolated Byzantine Agreement (SBA) as the consensus mechanism foundation, combined with zero-knowledge proof technology, ensuring each transaction can verify authenticity without revealing details. Even more impressive is the confidential smart contract feature—while contract data on traditional chains is transparent, which is a nightmare in financial scenarios, Dusk solves this problem.

Since the mainnet launched last year, the ecosystem has been active. Especially notable is the partnership with NPEX, the European securities exchange. This is not just a simple technical integration but positions Dusk as the technical backbone of Europe’s first truly blockchain-driven securities exchange. What does this mean? It signifies that moving from concept to real application is just one step away.

The DUSK token plays multiple roles in this ecosystem: paying transaction fees, participating in network staking, and governance voting. As the demand for RWA explodes, the token’s use cases and value foundation are expanding. The overall trend is clear—privacy + compliance + real assets—this combination is becoming the key to the next wave of institutional entry.
