2025 was indeed a tough year for the Dusk community. The token price kept declining, with the deepest drop approaching 60%, and market enthusiasm cooled down as well. But by early 2026, the trend suddenly shifted—$DUSK price began to rise strongly, trading volume surged, and rankings and discussion heat all moved upward. This rebound didn't happen out of nowhere; it was driven by real technological progress and product iterations.

First, let's look at the technology. Blockchain projects, in essence, compete on technical robustness and ecosystem vitality. Dusk completed an optimization upgrade of the Data Availability Subsystem (DuskDS) at the end of 2025, significantly improving network performance and stability. More importantly, DuskEVM officially launched. What does this mean? Developers can now deploy on Dusk using familiar Ethereum development tools, greatly reducing migration costs, and truly opening the door for ecosystem expansion. Even more impressive, developers can enjoy the convenience of EVM while adding native privacy protections to their applications—something many competitors can't offer.

Now, on the narrative side. In recent years, RWA (Real-World Asset Tokenization) has been the hottest trend in crypto, but few projects have successfully combined compliance and privacy. Dusk has positioned itself from the start as "providing privacy solutions for regulated financial scenarios," which aligns perfectly with the core needs of RWA. In an era where compliance becomes mandatory and privacy becomes a competitive advantage, Dusk's approach is especially crucial. From conceptual design to real-world implementation, from proof of concept to ecosystem building, the confidence behind this reversal lies here.
