Built for regulated financial markets, Dusk is a Layer 1 blockchain running on programmable privacy: privacy where needed, transparency where useful, disclosure for authorized review, and settlement that lands deterministically, a base for tokenized real-world assets and regulated securities, secured by DUSK, its native token. Dusk is preparing to launch DuskEVM mainnet, its EVM-compatible application layer, offering builders a Solidity-based route into the network, backed by Hedger, the privacy module using homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge proofs for reviewable confidential EVM workflows. Dusk Trade is built to be a neobroker for tokenized financial assets on DuskEVM, moving MMFs, ETFs, bonds, and RWAs onchain with instant settlement and real ownership, structured toward regulated MTF and investment platform status under EU rules. Through partnerships with Chainlink and EU-licensed institutions, Dusk is bringing financial markets onchain, including NPEX, an AFM-regulated exchange licensed as an MTF, Broker, and ECSP, planning to bring more than 300M EUR in assets onchain via Dusk. Where tokenization wraps an asset that already exists, native issuance moves more of its lifecycle onchain, and Dusk provides infrastructure for native issuance workflows for regulated securities once institutions have the necessary authorization and product setup.
Tokenization wrapping an existing asset is the version of RWAs everyone already understands, and it's why most projects stop there. Native issuance, moving more of an asset's actual lifecycle onchain, is the harder claim Dusk is making, but it depends entirely on institutions holding the right authorization first. That's not a technology gate, it's a legal one, and it moves at the pace of regulators, not roadmaps. I'd guess most of Dusk's near-term RWA activity looks more like tokenization than true native issuance, since the legal groundwork for the latter takes longer almost everywhere, just a reminder the harder story is still ahead.
