Dusk Mainnet: A New Era for Privacy and Programmability
The launch of the $DUSK Mainnet marks a massive milestone in the journey toward a truly fair financial market. Unlike other networks that rely on third-party privacy tools, @Dusk has built its own custom consensus—Segregated Byzantine Agreement (SBA)—which combines privacy with high-speed performance.
Key features now live or upcoming:
DuskEVM: Seamlessly migrate Ethereum dApps to a privacy-first environment.Citadel: A ZK-identity protocol that allows for "reusable" KYC across different apps.Direct Staking: Secure the network and earn rewards while maintaining anonymity.
$DUSK is proving that you don't have to choose between privacy and regulation. You can have both.

For a long time, building privacy-preserving applications meant learning complex new languages. With the recent launch of DuskEVM, @Dusk has changed the game by offering full Solidity compatibility.
Developers can now take their existing Ethereum-based code and deploy it on a network that offers:
Native Privacy: Using the Phoenix transaction model to obfuscate transactions and smart contract calls.Instant Finality: Powered by the Succinct Attestation (SA) consensus, ensuring transactions are final and irreversible in seconds.Institutional Security: A modular architecture where the DuskDS layer handles settlement and data availability with high efficiency.
By combining the ease of EVM with the power of ZK-proofs, $DUSK is positioning itself as the leading infrastructure for the next generation of private dApps.

The primary hurdle for institutions entering DeFi has always been the conflict between public transparency and the need for confidentiality. @Dusk is effectively bridging this gap by providing a "Shielded Ledger" for the financial world.
Unlike traditional public blockchains that expose all transaction data, $DUSK utilizes native Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to ensure that sensitive trade data remains hidden while staying 100% compliant with global regulations like MiCA. Through its Citadel protocol, users can prove their identity—such as being over a certain age or residing in a specific jurisdiction—without ever revealing their actual private data. This "compliance-by-design" approach makes it a unique Layer-1 powerhouse for Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization. #dusk

While @Walrus 🦭/acc uses the high-performance Sui blockchain as its "control plane" for metadata and settlement, the storage layer itself is designed to be chain-agnostic. This is a major win for the multi-chain future. Developers on Ethereum, Solana, or Polygon can leverage Walrus to store their application's "heavy lifting"—like full frontends, PDFs, or media files—without migrating their entire project. Through developer-friendly SDKs and APIs, Walrus bridges the gap between different ecosystems, acting as a universal data layer. This flexibility ensures that no matter where your smart contracts live, your data remains fast, dynamic, and verifiable across the entire Web3 stack $WAL #walrus

AI agents and models require massive, tamper-proof datasets, but storing gigabytes of training data on a standard L1 is prohibitively expensive. @Walrus 🦭/acc solves this by providing a specialized "blob" storage layer that keeps heavy data off-chain while maintaining on-chain verifiability. AI teams can store model weights and "ground truth" datasets securely, ensuring they are always available for audit or inference without bloating the main ledger. With its low-latency performance and decentralized nature, Walrus is becoming the go-to infrastructure for the "Decentralized AI" (DeAI) movement. By using $WAL to secure this data, we ensure a future where AI isn't just powerful, but also transparent and censorship-resistant. #walrus
