Dusk's mainnet launch shook the market within a week. It jumped directly from a low point to $0.10-$0.105, up 60% in 24 hours, and a total increase of 85-90% over the week. The market cap also returned to the $48-52M level, ranking #450-460. Is this community hype? Actually not — behind this rally is real technological delivery and practical applications.

DuskEVM is now stable and running. Developers can deploy privacy smart contracts directly using Solidity, meaning teams familiar with the Ethereum ecosystem can migrate seamlessly. The latest Hedger tool optimizes ZK proof generation speed, making privacy transactions more efficient for institutional-level applications.

The real highlight is Dusk's "Auditable Privacy" design. The Phoenix protocol defaults to using zero-knowledge proofs to hide all transaction details — amounts, balances, participants — but when needed, through a selective disclosure mechanism, regulators can view the full transaction path with one click. This completely solves the issue of privacy coins like Monero being rejected by regulators. Dusk has built-in compatibility with EU MiCA, MiFID II, and DLT Pilot regulations at the protocol level.

After the mainnet launch, DuskDS settlement layer provides strong finality guarantees. The cross-chain bridge has also been optimized, and Rust-based privacy applications support allows developers to build more complex compliant scenarios. But what most drives this rally is the progress of RWA. The $300M security tokenization project in partnership with regulated Dutch exchange NPEX is now entering a critical execution phase.
