It is rare to see a Layer1 project like Dusk that has built such a solid foundation for compliant financial infrastructure. Since its founding in 2018, this project has always focused on regulated financial application scenarios, forming a unique competitive barrier in its technical architecture.

Its modular design is worth dissecting: the Layer1 layer is responsible for secure settlement, DuskEVM handles ecosystem development at the application layer, and Hedger provides privacy and compliance technology support. The three layers have clear divisions of labor but also work in synergy. The strength of this architecture can be seen from its real-world use cases — it has successfully brought DuskTrade (with €300 million in RWA assets) on-chain, while also creating a foundation for institutional DeFi, asset tokenization, and other diverse applications.

In terms of ecosystem progress, Dusk has partnered with Chainlink to enhance system security and data credibility. The DuskEVM mainnet has officially launched, and the Hedger Alpha version has been released one after another. These milestones indicate that the ecosystem is brewing new growth momentum.

From the perspective of $DUSK value capture, as the core asset of the ecosystem, it continuously generates value through on-chain asset transaction fees, trade settlement, governance participation, and other aspects. In the long term, this project is reshaping the value imagination space of compliant Layer1, making it worth ongoing observation.
