Hello everyone! The Dusk Network mainnet has officially launched, marking an important milestone after more than six years of development and preparation. As the world's first privacy Layer-1 blockchain designed specifically for regulated financial markets, this project uses zero-knowledge proof technology to achieve a seemingly contradictory goal—protecting transaction privacy while enabling fully transparent compliance audits. This dual feature directly opens the door to institutional-grade real-world asset tokenization.

Based on data from the mainnet launch, market response has been enthusiastic. In just two days, over 200 million $DUSK tokens have been staked, accounting for more than 36% of the total circulating supply. This number speaks volumes. The driving force behind this is the innovative design of the Hyperstaking mechanism—users have a very low barrier to participate in staking, requiring only simple operations to join network consensus and earn rewards. It also supports liquid staking, so funds are not locked, ensuring liquidity.

Even more interesting is the Stake Abstraction technology. Previously, staking required running nodes and technical knowledge, but this solution greatly reduces the difficulty. Smart contracts automatically handle all logic, so users don’t need to do anything—just wait to receive passive income. This not only enhances network security and participation but also provides $DUSK holders with tangible revenue channels.

From a competitive perspective, Dusk’s differentiation in the RWA (Real-World Asset) track is very clear. By 2026, RWA competition will become increasingly fierce, but many projects are still struggling with compliance issues. Dusk has already addressed regulatory frameworks such as the EU’s MiCA and MiFID II, and has participated in DLT pilot programs. Through the XSC (Confidential Security Contracts) standard, institutions can directly issue digital assets like stocks, bonds, and private equity within a fully compliant framework. This combination of privacy and compliance is indeed rare in the industry.

Six years of holding back big moves, the mainnet launched with a 36% staking rate, this data is really not made up. Privacy + compliance combo is indeed rare, much more reliable than those projects that boast about RWA every day. Hyperstaking with such a low threshold makes me a bit worried it might be too shallow... but liquid staking is definitely a highlight, at least the funds have liquidity. Wait, has everything really been settled over in the EU? I need to take a closer look at this. If it really comes to fruition, this track might undergo a reshuffle in 2026.

Six years of buildup, 200 million DUSK staked in just two days, that's really impressive. Privacy + compliance seems to be something everyone wants to do, but few actually manage to pull off. Wait, liquid staking + automatic nodes, isn't this turning staking into a Yu'e Bao? RWA finally has a serious player at the table, while other projects are still just talking on paper. Honestly, I still don't quite understand the zero-knowledge proof stuff, but being able to hide money and pass audits is indeed a brilliant logic. 36% staking rate, this data can't be just hype... let's see if it can stay stable in the future. Is the MiCA framework all sorted out? Then European institutions are really coming. Just looking at this design concept, it feels like the door to traditional finance has indeed been pried open a crack. The enthusiasm for mainnet launch is so high, could it be another fleeting craze in the crypto world, and then cool down again? Wait, after those private equity tokens are tokenized, can retail investors really buy them?

Two days 36% staking rate? This number is too outrageous, it feels a bit fake. --- Privacy + compliance sound great, but can it really be implemented... The EU folks are not easy to deal with. --- Hyperstaking low threshold is just a gimmick; the real profit-makers are always the early adopters. --- Six years of sharpening the sword, is this all? The mainnet launch is just the beginning, don’t get too excited. --- Liquid staking still depends on trading pair depth; liquidity might be a concern. --- RWA track is heating up, Dusk is interesting but its competitiveness is uncertain. --- Who doesn’t know auto-staking? The key is whether the returns can be sustained. --- Is there really so much room for imagination under the MiCA framework? Feels like it’s being driven by marketing. --- Once 36% appears, I have to pay attention to this project. --- Institutional-grade asset tokenization? I've heard too many promises like that.

Privacy + compliance is indeed a rare combination, but to be honest, the RWA track is very competitive. Dusk has managed to stick around for 6 years, which is impressive. The strong staking data shows that the market is truly optimistic.

Wow, privacy + compliance is really top-notch, other projects can only dream of it A 36% staking rate shows how optimistic everyone is. Why do I always feel like I'm always late? I like the fact that liquid staking doesn't lock tokens. Finally, a project that understands how we, the poor guys, feel The RWA track will be a bloodbath by 2026. Starting on Dusk now is indeed a bit ahead of its time Simplifying node operation for these old-timers is great, really impressive To be honest, I haven't seen many projects that can handle both privacy and compliance at the same time Six years of development, I hope it's not just an air project

Hmm... Six years of buildup and this is it? Privacy + compliance sound great, but how many institutions will actually use it? The 36% early staking looks lively, but let's wait until liquidity is truly tested. Stake Abstraction sounds good, but I'm worried it will become another tool for cutting leeks. I've seen this routine many times. Zero-knowledge proofs have been hyped for a long time. I feel like Dusk is just piecing together others' technologies. Is there any real innovation? RWA track exploding in 2026? I took a look at these so-called compliance frameworks, still the same old stuff. The real test hasn't even started yet. The recent hype around mainnet launch data makes me feel a crypto price surge isn't far off. When that happens, it'll be another wave of institutions riding the wave.
