Every block on Dusk goes through the same test before it's real propose validate ratify. Funny word to build a protocol around and this year I watched the whole project get put through it too in public.
Mainnet went live back in January 2025 after real regulatory delays.
Fair enough and this thing is built for regulated finance so slow and careful beats fast and broken. Since then, DuskEVM opened the door for normal Solidity developers a Dutch venue called NPEX started running real tokenized securities on Dusk and Chainlink got wired in so those assets can move across chains without extra middlemen.
Then in January this year, someone got into the wallet controlling the bridge and drained tokens onto another chain. Not a bug in the core network a weak spot in the bridge design. The team shut it down published a real post-mortem, and rebuilt it trusting no single wallet with that much power again. That response from Dusk Foundation is what actually earned my attention, not the hack itself.
Ignore the price chart. Watch whether the rebuilt bridge holds under real volume, and whether NPEX keeps quietly settling trades. A regulated finance network wins by being boring, not by trending.
