DuskEVM mainnet officially launched in the second week of January 2026 and it genuinely changes the rules.
Its core value comes down to three points that directly address long-standing pain points:
Zero-cost migration
Existing Solidity contracts can be deployed on DuskEVM with minimal to no changes. Developers can continue using familiar Ethereum tools, wallets, and browsers.
Privacy and compliance in one stack
Dusk’s L1 natively supports optional privacy via zk-SNARKs, enabling institutions to be fully transparent to regulators while remaining confidential to competitors—perfectly aligned with global regulatory direction.
A true home for RWA at scale
DuskEVM combined with DuskDS enables the tokenization, trading, and settlement of securities, bonds, real estate, carbon credits, and more—all on-chain, private, and without multi-chain fragmentation or trust intermediaries.
Compared to “pseudo-private EVMs” or compliant L2s, Dusk’s edge is structural:
Privacy is native to L1, not bolted on later
The target market isn’t just retail DeFi, but trillions in traditional finance
What the market has been missing is an execution layer that supports rapid EVM development while meeting real institutional privacy and compliance standards.
DuskEVM fills that gap.
