I work in asset management. Last year I “run naked” on a public blockchain for three months and lost over $2 million.

Last year I spotted a trend and, with my team, moved clients’ assets onto a very popular public chain. The narrative was great: decentralization, transparency, immutability—what a beautiful story.

But things went wrong on the third day after launch. Our competitors dug out our holding addresses, our add-to-position schedule, and the times we canceled orders. They compiled it into an Excel sheet and sent it to their internal group. The moment we posted our orders, they precisely hunted us down.

At the time it felt like—
A group of people were gathered around you, watching you play cards.

Over three months, our strategy was targeted a dozen-plus times, and our unrealized loss on paper exceeded $2 million. In the end, we couldn’t take it anymore—we withdrew across the board.

Back then I felt especially desperate: public blockchain transparency is a belief, but in the real financial world, transparency means showing your hand to your opponent.

Later, a friend in the industry recommended Dusk Network to me. He said it could solve my problem.

I didn’t believe it at first. I spent a week going through资料 and then realized—privacy and compliance, turns out you really don’t have to choose one over the other.

Dusk’s core is called “Selective Disclosure.” What does that mean? All transaction data is encrypted by default and fully hidden from the public; but you can generate a zero-knowledge proof at any time to show auditors or regulators that “I am compliant.” Prove that your assets meet the requirements, without disclosing your balances; prove that transactions are compliant, without leaking the path.

“Give the conclusion, not the process.” Those who need to see can see; those who shouldn’t see, stay silent.

And it isn’t a PPT project.

On January 7, 2026, the DuskEVM mainnet officially went live. It is fully compatible with Solidity. You can copy-paste Ethereum code directly and use it. Developers don’t need to learn anything new—just connect with MetaMask.

Most importantly, it’s already deployed. Dusk is deeply bound with the Netherlands-licensed exchange NPEX. This isn’t a letter of intent—it’s a formal partnership agreement already signed. Behind it are more than €300 million (about $320 million) in real assets from small and mid-sized enterprises moving on-chain. Stocks, bonds, and money market funds are all protected under EU law.

While other projects are still using PPT to tell stories, Dusk has effectively “put” a licensed securities trading venue in your pocket.

Total supply of $DUSK is 1 billion. It’s responsible for three things: staking for security, paying Gas fees, and participating in governance voting.
