#dusk $DUSK @Dusk
What happens when you want to build on Dusk, but you don’t want to throw away the tools you already know?

That was the first thing I thought about when I started looking into DuskEVM.

I expected the usual “EVM-compatible” claim, but the actual setup made more sense after I followed the transaction flow. Developers can use familiar Solidity or Vyper workflows, standard EVM wallets, and tools like Foundry and Hardhat, while DUSK is used for execution costs.

What I found more interesting was how DuskEVM connects back to the Dusk infrastructure.

Transactions first go through the DuskEVM execution environment. Batches and transaction data are then published to DuskDS, while state commitments connect the resulting state back to Dusk’s settlement and data-availability layer.

There’s a small distinction here that I think is easy to miss: fast transaction inclusion isn’t automatically the same thing as final settlement.

That made me look at DuskEVM less as simply another EVM environment and more as an execution layer connected to Dusk’s underlying network.

And there’s still a choice depending on what you’re building. EVM applications can use DuskEVM, while Rust/WASM contracts can work directly with DuskVM and the Dusk L1.

For me, the interesting part is the bridge between familiar development and Dusk’s native infrastructure—not just the EVM compatibility itself.
