i went looking for dusk's own announcement of duskevm's mainnet launch, since i kept seeing conflicting dates in aggregator coverage — some saying january 2026, one calling it "second week of january," another in may still describing testnet work meant to "advance readiness for the upcoming duskevm mainnet." i couldn't find a primary dusk.network post confirming an actual duskevm go-live date anywhere, only secondary sources repeating each other with different years and confidence levels.
that's different from a slipped launch — this is a case where i can't even confirm one happened, and honestly i went back through their news page a second time assuming i'd just missed the post, i hadn't. the core mainnet, duskds, launched january 7, 2025, that part's solid and dusk's own site confirms it. but duskevm specifically, the evm-compatible layer everyone's citing as live, i just can't trace back to dusk's own words.
to be fair, the architecture itself — duskvm for native rust contracts, duskevm for solidity — is genuinely documented and real, this isn't a fabricated feature. it's specifically the "is it live yet" question nobody's own source seems to answer clearly.
has dusk actually confirmed duskevm mainnet is live anywhere on their own channels, or is this still aggregator noise? 🧐
