DUSK Network celebrated an important milestone this January—its mainnet was officially upgraded to launch DuskEVM, building upon the mainnet migration that took place in December of last year. What does this new network bring? Native support for privacy-preserving smart contracts and real-world asset(RWA) tools. The market responded enthusiastically to this development, with investors and developers focusing on two areas: the network’s compliance framework and the feasibility of institutional-grade applications.

When it comes to DUSK, its core technology cannot be ignored—privacy. In the blockchain world, privacy is not simply about "hiding," but a sophisticated cryptographic system. The Phoenix transaction model used by DUSK is the culmination of this system.

Traditional mixing techniques? Too coarse. Phoenix takes a different approach—an advanced scheme based on confidential transactions and one-time ring signatures. It can fully conceal the sender, receiver, and even the transaction amount, while cryptographic proofs ensure transaction validity and prevent double-spending attacks. This is not a flashy design; it finds the true balance between privacy and security.

What’s more clever is that Phoenix does not exist in isolation. It is tightly integrated into DUSK’s overall architecture, providing standardized privacy primitive interfaces for upper-layer applications. Developers don’t need to be cryptography experts to utilize these capabilities—whether adding privacy features to DeFi protocols or integrating privacy into asset tokenization products, the difficulty is greatly reduced. This is the true soil for ecological prosperity.

At an event in a major plaza, the DUSK community also demonstrated vitality. Through creative content and task participation, community members have the opportunity to learn about the project and contribute value. This approach of truly benefiting participants is attracting increasing attention.

From a broader perspective, DUSK is working on integrating privacy, compliance, and financial programmability. This is not just an innovation of a single feature, but a redefinition of how Layer-1 blockchains should serve real-world finance. Building on DUSK essentially means choosing to stand at the forefront of privacy technology and on-chain finance.
