Dusk Highlights 🥳

There's been a lot to celebrate lately!

In January, we launched mainnet, and since then we've had a ton of announcements.

Let's recap 👇

Dusk x @Quantoz - Quantoz's digital euro $EURQ will be on Dusk, giving institutions and traders access a real, digital euro.

Dusk x @cordialsys - Cordial's custody solutions give institutions in-house custody of their assets - vital for regulators - and accelerates the institutional adoption of $DUSK.

Dusk x PlayMatika and Betpassion - 2 Italian gaming giants will integrate DuskPay into their backend operations. Gaming and betting in Italy generates €150B p/y.

Dusk x @tradeon21x - Dusk has joined as a trade participant with 21X, the first organization to receive the DLT TSS.

Dusk Audit Deep Dive 👀

Before launching mainnet in January, the $DUSK protocol received 10 audits, amounting to 200+ reporting pages.

For a user-friendly guide to what the audits covered, who did them, and the outcome, check out this deep dive from our CTO @HeinDauven 👇

What are Real-World Assets (RWAs) in DeFi — and why are they the bridge between TradFi and Web3?

Let’s break down the opportunity, the regulation, and where $DUSK comes in.

✅ Instant settlement and reconcilliation
🌍 Instant cross-border transfers

Native issuance > tokenization

Bring the whole lifecycle of an asset on-chain.

Tokenization is the gateway, but native issuance is the destination 🫡

The real work of RWAs is slow and methodical.

Step-by-step we are building the infrastructure to fully onboard TradFi.

Not just to tokenize some assets, but to bring the whole lifecycle of finance on-chain.

Our partners are carefully chosen to complement our goals and abide by the strictest regulations.

Our CEO Emanuele Francioni, @Autholykos, is also the CTO of our close partner @npex, a licensed stock exchange in the Netherlands.

Want to refresh your memory about our key partnership with @npex?

✅ NPEX is a licensed stock exchange in the Netherlands
✅ It holds a coveted Multilateral Trading Facility license
✅ Its backend is being rebuilt to run on Dusk

This means NPEX can issue and provide a market to trade regulated assets like stocks and securities.

By integrating Dusk all this will run on-chain at a fraction of the time and cost.

Meaning, NPEX can effectively run like a CEX but for regulated assets, built on Dusk.
