The concept of modular blockchain has recently gained renewed popularity. Taking DUSK as an example, this project has indeed been active quite a bit this year.

First, let's talk about RWA. The DuskTrade application, jointly launched with the licensed Dutch exchange NPEX, is about to go live, directly bringing over 300 million euros worth of tokenized securities onto the chain. What does this mean? It signifies a new way for traditional financial assets to circulate. The whitelist was opened in January, indicating that the project team is quite confident about the progress.

The DuskEVM mainnet officially launched in the second week of January. What benefits does this bring to developers? EVM compatibility means Solidity developers can seamlessly migrate their projects without relearning a new language. This is a significant boost for ecosystem expansion.

Interestingly, in the privacy trading area, the Hedger solution combines zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption, enabling DUSK to perform private transactions on EVM that can also be audited. This is especially friendly for regulated financial scenarios—meeting user privacy needs while complying with regulatory requirements.

From collaboration with Chainlink to these concrete implementations, DUSK demonstrates what "compliant innovation" truly means through action. How far the ecosystem can go depends on the subsequent project rollout pace.
