Developers and institutions face a long-standing dilemma: either be compatible with the existing ecosystem but lack compliance guarantees, or adhere to compliance bottom lines but face the high difficulty of technical integration. Dusk Foundation is preparing to change this situation.

DuskEVM mainnet will officially launch in the second week of January. As Dusk's EVM-compatible application layer, its task is quite straightforward—allow developers to deploy standard Solidity smart contracts without rewriting code, while benefiting from Dusk Layer1's secure settlement and compliance privacy capabilities.

What is the core selling point here? "Zero friction integration" and "Native compliance empowerment." For millions of Solidity developers, this is just perfect. They don't need to learn new languages or modify frameworks; mature DeFi applications and tools can be directly migrated to the Dusk ecosystem, saving significant development and migration costs. More importantly, these applications are inherently endowed with Dusk's compliance genes—combining Hedger technology with zero-knowledge proofs and homomorphic encryption capabilities, which can protect privacy while enabling auditability, perfectly meeting the needs of regulated financial use cases. Compliant DeFi has shifted from a fantasy to a tangible infrastructure.

The launch of DuskEVM marks the beginning of an "application explosion period" for the Dusk ecosystem. The ecosystem structure is quite clear: Layer1 handles secure settlement and core consensus, application layer leverages DuskEVM to support a vast array of EVM ecosystem applications, Hedger provides compliance privacy solutions, and these three components work closely together to create a one-stop infrastructure for institutional-grade financial applications, compliant DeFi protocols, and RWA tokenization projects. Coupled with previous collaborations with certain oracle services that have contributed high-quality services to the ecosystem, the launch of DuskEVM will further expand the ecosystem boundaries and attract more developers and project teams to participate.
