Over the past five years, I’ve looked at many crypto projects, and many concepts are full of potential but lack practical implementation. It wasn’t until I delved into Dusk that I truly found a project with both technical support and policy friendliness.

At the start of 2026, the RWA track is clearly different. On-chain RWA assets excluding stablecoins have already surpassed $20 billion, with astonishing growth. Dusk’s approach is indeed unique—covering technical implementation, compliance licenses, and asset onboarding—all essential elements that institutions truly care about.

Since the second half of last year, I noticed that institutional funds have been quietly moving away from native crypto assets toward those backed by real-world assets. A quick check revealed that Dusk has been working on this since 2018. Eight years without chasing trends or copying hot topics, they’ve been consistently building “regulated financial infrastructure.” Interestingly, they don’t treat compliance as a patch to be added later but consider it from the architecture design stage—modular solutions that enable privacy protection and regulatory audits to coexist, which is key for institutional entry.

The decisive actions that led to deep involvement are recent. In the second week of January, DuskEVM mainnet officially launched. What does this mean? Millions of Solidity developers worldwide can deploy contracts directly without changing a single line of code, while the settlement layer remains secure at Layer 1. This approach significantly lowers the barrier for developers to get involved, and most of the technical concerns for institutions have been addressed.
