On-Chain Compliance Ignition Point: Dusk Protocol Attracts Over €300 Million in Three Days
Breaking News: Dusk Network's compliant asset issuance protocol, based on the privacy blockchain, recently helped the European licensed trading platform NPEX complete the tokenization of over €300 million in real-world assets. This marks the entry of the "privacy + compliance" track into a stage of large-scale commercial application.
Background: Founded in 2018, Dusk Network's mainnet will launch in January 2026 after seven years of development. Its core innovation is the use of zero-knowledge proof technology to achieve "selective disclosure" of transaction information, protecting business privacy while meeting financial audit and regulatory requirements.
Technical Details: The network contains two parallel smart contract environments. The Moonlight contract is used for transparent auditing scenarios, while the Phoenix contract provides strong privacy protection. Users can flexibly switch between them according to asset type and regulatory requirements. Its consensus mechanism, DuskDS, ensures transaction finality.
Market Reaction: Since the mainnet launch and the announcement of ecosystem cooperation at the beginning of the year, the price of its native token, DUSK, has risen significantly, with a cumulative maximum increase of over 400%. On-chain data shows that some early-stage funds have recently taken profits, resulting in a monthly high in the number of funds flowing into exchanges.
Future Plans: In 2026, Dusk will focus on advancing two ecosystem applications: the DuskTrade compliant trading platform, deeply integrated with NPEX, and a dedicated decentralized exchange (DEX) supporting anonymous trading. The latter aims to provide on-chain liquidity for tokenized compliant securities.
Significance: Analysts believe that Dusk's model provides a feasible technology-compliance solution for traditional institutional assets to be on-chain. Its progress may accelerate the adoption of blockchain technology for asset issuance and settlement by more regulated financial institutions.
