Will the privacy track explode in 2026? This is not just a rumor. Sui's privacy support has indeed attracted attention, but one project’s ambitions are clearly greater—Dusk Network has directly made a move at the foundational level.

Its core weapon is ZK VM combined with privacy smart contracts. It sounds cool, but what is the practical value? The pain points are clear: transaction history on public chains is inherently transparent, which is a nightmare for institutions and compliant users. Dusk’s solution is dual-mode: transparent and public when auditing is needed, fully confidential during execution. This move is quite clever—it meets regulatory requirements while protecting user privacy.

Even more interesting is the Zedger platform. It targets the RWA (Real World Asset) sector, tokenizing traditional assets like bonds and stocks. The most impressive part is 24/7 trading without intermediaries. After six years of development, the mainnet officially launched in January 2025, supported by licensed trading venues like NPEX—this is no small feat.

On the ecosystem level, DuskVault provides custody, DuskPay handles payments, building a full-stack privacy financial system. The $DUSK token is designed with moderate inflation, offering generous staking rewards, and the ecosystem support from major exchanges has also provided significant help.

The most remarkable detail: identity verification uses ZK proofs, and data never leaves the chain. In collaboration with Quantoz to launch the privacy version of EURQ stablecoin, the integration of RWA and DeFi is inevitable. Dusk is ready at this moment. This is not just a tool, but more like a foundational infrastructure for financial neutrality.
