In this era of the great wave of public chains being sifted through, the number of projects that survive is decreasing. But truly daring projects—those that find a balance between protecting user privacy and meeting regulatory requirements—are few and far between. By 2026, Dusk, through 8 years of technological accumulation and modular architecture design, has finally solved this difficult problem.

If you're looking for long-term holdings, this January's Dusk is definitely worth spending time to research.

**1. Technological Iteration: DuskEVM is Coming, the Gap Between Privacy Chains and Mainstream Ecosystems Will Disappear**

There has always been a barrier between privacy chains and the current mainstream ecosystems. But DuskEVM mainnet is set to launch in the second week of January, which means this barrier will be effectively bridged.

Simply put, DuskEVM is an EVM-compatible application layer. This means that the millions of developers worldwide who write in Solidity can directly build applications on Dusk without changing their coding habits. What's the most impressive part? Business logic runs at the EVM layer, with final settlement on Dusk's native Layer 1. This approach retains development flexibility while inheriting financial-grade settlement security. In other words, the potential for compliant DeFi is suddenly opened up.

**2. Practical Application: DuskTrade's 300 Million Euros in Liquidity**

Whether an RWA protocol is successful or not depends on one metric: how much real assets it handles.

Can privacy and regulation be satisfied at the same time? Dusk dares to go all out on this, and 8 years of sharpening the sword is quite interesting. DuskEVM is now available for developers to write Solidity directly, which indeed solves the long-standing issue of privacy chains being disliked... To be honest, those previous privacy coin projects either had excessive privacy that nobody cared about or compromised terribly. Dusk strikes a good balance. Real liquidity of 300 million euros is running on it... This is not just talk; it depends on whether they can maintain this momentum in the future. Long-term target? Let's wait until DuskEVM stabilizes before making any decisions. The launch in the second week of January will depend on how it performs afterward. Technical prowess doesn't necessarily mean the ecosystem will thrive. Detecting that the privacy chain hype cycle is coming again, but Dusk is indeed different this time—it's not just a technical stacking routine.

Wow, after 8 years of holding back big moves, can privacy and compliance really be achieved at the same time? I'm a bit excited.

After 8 years of holding back, there's indeed something substantial in privacy compliance.

8 years of holding back big moves, this time there's really something... Privacy and compliance are originally at odds, but Dusk managed to pull it off? I need to carefully study the DuskEVM logic.

Dusk this wave really has something, releasing a big move after 8 years is no joke. Privacy + compliance, whether this direction will be popular depends on how EVM compatibility is used later; it's too early to judge now. €300 million in liquidity is pretty good, but I don't know what percentage is real assets. The projects that can survive this round are indeed rare, but whether Dusk is worth holding long-term depends on future ecosystem development. It's both EVM-compatible and a native Layer 1, sounds great, but actual implementation is the real key. Regulatory-compliant DeFi sounds appealing, but I'm afraid in the end it will just be a rebrand with no real change.

ngl, analyzed their modular architecture thoroughly — the privacy + compliance angle *looks* legit on paper but... needs serious scrutiny on the actual implementation layer. DuskEVM mainnet launch is critical. DYOR before bags get heavy here.

It sounds like another story of "this time it's really different"... But to be honest, the claim of 8 years of technical accumulation does have some substance; it's not just a hype scheme.

8 years of sharpening the sword, is this finally the moment? Can privacy and regulation truly coexist?

Brothers, these 8 years of holding back have been quite intense. Privacy + compliance work really isn't something many dare to do... Wait, did DuskTrade really move 300 million euros? This data needs to be verified. Is it lossless to migrate directly for Solidity developers? I want to understand this technical detail. I'm optimistic, but I'm just worried it might be another story without substance. Compliance DeFi... sounds good, but can the regulations really be handled? Stop bragging, how is the actual locked-up amount? Let the data speak. Long-term holding depends on the team's strength. What's the background of the founders at Dusk? It's been 8 years still talking about stories. We need to see if the mainnet in January can truly deliver. There are so many privacy chain projects, why choose Dusk...
