Today marks the dawn of a new era in finance. The Dusk Mainnet is officially live. After six years of relentless innovation, iteration, and dedication, we’ve reached a milestone that will redefine how finance operates—accessible, decentralized, and built for everyone.

This is not just a technological achievement; it’s a vision realized. A vision that sees financial infrastructure not as a privilege for the few but as a right for all. With the launch of Mainnet, we aim to lower the barriers to financial inclusion and empower individuals and institutions to take control of their assets and transactions.

Why Dusk Matters: Financial Freedom Redefined

When we talk about financial freedom, we’re not referring to buzzwords or pipe dreams. For us, financial freedom is the ability to transact freely, to participate directly in the infrastructure of finance, to trade 24/7 without intermediaries, and to truly own what’s yours.

The current financial system is outdated, clunky, and inaccessible to most. It was built in a different era and is held together by a patchwork of workarounds. It serves those who already have wealth, knowledge, and resources, leaving others locked out.

At Dusk, we believe this must change.

We envision a world where:

You can run a node and power financial infrastructure from your home.
You can trade assets seamlessly without unnecessary intermediaries.
You can stake your DUSK and actively contribute to securing the network.
You have full custody of your assets and peace of mind knowing they are truly yours.

Our mission is simple: to create a system that is fair, efficient, and technologically superior. A system that serves you, not the other way around.

Mainnet Is Just the Beginning

While the Mainnet launch is a historic milestone, it is also the first step in a much larger journey. We’ve already shared our ambitious roadmap, packed with innovations that will shape the future of finance in 2025 and beyond.

Here’s what you can expect in the coming months:

Q1 2025 Highlights:

Dusk Pay: Launching a payment circuit powered by an electronic money token (EMT), enabling regulatory-compliant transactions for both individuals and institutions.
Lightspeed: Our EVM-compatible Layer 2, designed to provide interoperability with Ethereum while settling on the Dusk Layer 1. Lightspeed will bring unparalleled scalability and open the door for developers to seamlessly transition to the Dusk ecosystem.
Hyperstaking: A new staking mechanism that allows for custom logic in staking contracts, enabling applications like privacy-preserving staking, referral-based staking rewards, and yield boosting.
Zedger Beta: Advancing our asset tokenization protocol, laying the groundwork for the tokenization of real-world assets such as stocks, bonds, and real estate.

Every item on our roadmap reflects requests from institutional partners and ecosystem contributors. We’re building what people need, not what we think is cool.

Why Mainnet Matters to You

Mainnet is more than a launch. It’s an invitation to be part of the financial infrastructure of tomorrow. Here’s how you can dive in:

Stake your DUSK: Earn rewards while helping to secure the network.
Run a Node: Actively contribute to decentralizing and strengthening the Dusk ecosystem.
Build on Dusk: Whether it’s DeFi, real-world asset tokenization, or privacy-preserving applications, the possibilities are endless.

This is your opportunity to participate in the evolution of finance—not as a spectator, but as an active participant.

A Heartfelt Thank You

We wouldn’t be here without our incredible community, dedicated node operators, visionary partners, and tireless team. Thank you for believing in our mission and standing with us every step of the way.

Six years of building has led to this moment, but the journey doesn’t end here. Together, we will create a financial system that works for everyone.

Ready to Build the Future?

Join us today. Mainnet is live, and the era of on-chain finance has begun.

Mainnet is almost here! The first immutable blocks will be produced tomorrow. This marks a major milestone and is just the beginning. With mainnet in place, Dusk has a clear roadmap for 2025 to bring our vision of privacy, compliance, and decentralized finance to life. Here’s what’s coming next.

$\"Roadmap\"$

Q1 2025: Real World Adoption

The first quarter of 2025 is all about establishing key components of the network and creating opportunities for real-world adoption. Here’s what to expect:

Mainnet: Mainnet officially goes live tomorrow, producing its first immutable blocks, offering the foundation for secure and private financial applications.
Hyperstaking: Hyperstaking unleashes programmability of staking. It is a novelty of Dusk akin to “Account Abstraction” where smart contracts can implement custom logic to handle stakes. This unlocks endless possibilities: privacy-preserving staking, affiliate programs, delegation, liquid staking, yield boosting, and way more.
Zedger Beta: Launching the Zedger Asset protocol with full specifications, which focuses on privacy-preserving compliant asset tokenization, issuance and management alongside a beta version for testing with partners.
Lightspeed: Unveiling the L2 network interoperable with the Ethereum Virtual Machine. That’s right, the whole EVM-compatible ecosystem can now build, interoperate, and settle on Dusk!
Dusk Pay: MiCA compliant electronic money transfers and payment network designed for business cases that require stablecoins and higher regulatory compliance.

Phase 2: Asset Tokenization

The second phase focuses on partnerships and tools to bring more users and businesses into the ecosystem:

Custodian Integration: Custodian Integration: Dusk integrates with selected custodian banks to enable institutions to use the network for regulated finance, and in order to implement trust-minimized clearance and settlement for securities and digital cash.
NPEX Asset Tokenization: All assets under NPEX management ($300M+) are now tokenized on Dusk, bringing traditional financial products on-chain, and incept DLT operations on a regulated exchange operating with real-world financial assets.
ZK KYC/AML: Using Citadel, our bespoke privacy-preserving licensing tool, Zero-Knowledge technology will be used to remove the KYC and AML hurdle from onboarding digital asset investors into the real-world finance, thus reconciling privacy with regulatory compliance (i.e. DORA, GDPR, Mifid and MiCA regulations).

Phase 3: Regulated Finance

Once integrations are in place, the focus shifts toward scaling use-cases and creating more utility for the DUSK token:

MiCA CEX on NPEX: MiCA regulation will be implemented on NPEX, making DUSK the central exchange utility token and expanding its role within the ecosystem. CEXes have long outperformed traditional trading platforms, imagine a crypto-like CEX for real-world assets, complete with low fees and an intuitive UX, making TradFi more accessible!
Trust minimized Clearance & Settlement: This feature will combine traditional and blockchain-based systems for faster, atomic, more efficient and secure transaction settlements of tokenized assets. It’s a great solution that brings atomic transactions, 24/7 trading, fractional asset trading to regulated partners like brokers, market-makers, asset management organizations, ETF providers, institutional investors, etc.
Privacy-preserving Payment: Bringing privacy and scalability to Dusk Pay.

Phase 4: Decentralized Market Infrastructure

The final phase is about delivering the complete vision of Dusk, defining new directions for assets and new, better ways to trade & hold them:

Full Zedger: The Zedger system will be fully operational, enabling privacy-preserving asset issuance, clearance, and settlement.
ETF Launch: Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) will debut on Dusk, opening new investment opportunities. While the BTC ETF was a huge step forward, issuing ETFs on-chain is the next step.
Full On-Chain Issuance, Clearance & Settlement: The network will achieve its goal of providing a complete, end-to-end solution for issuing and managing assets entirely on-chain. This is the end game; a DLT-based financial ecosystem.

A Year of Growth and Innovation

2025 is set to be a transformative year for Dusk. From the mainnet launch to the rollout of cutting-edge features like Hyperstaking, Zedger, and Dusk EVM L2, we will position ourselves as a leader, a blockchain that can do it all, offering privacy, compliance, and even lightning-fast DeFi on our L2.

As the mainnet goes live, Dusk invites its community and partners to be part of this journey. Whether you’re a developer, investor, or user, there’s a place for you in the Dusk ecosystem. Let’s build the future of finance together.

After six years of development and research, Dusk’s Mainnet rollout begins today! Later today, we will activate Dusk’s Mainnet Onramp contract. On December 29th, early stakes will be on-ramped into the Genesis—the official initial state of our fully operational network—and the Mainnet cluster will be deployed, scheduled to produce its first immutable block on January 7th. Early deposits will be available on January 3rd.

This is the start of a new era that brings traditional finance on-chain, paving the way for trillions of dollars to enter the crypto ecosystem.

With the technology rollout and a clear regulatory framework in place, financial institutions can finally harness the full power of Dusk. This moment signals real progress for our community, for those who believe in decentralized finance, and for anyone seeking immediate access to capital and investment opportunities.

Below is the official Mainnet Launch timeline, beginning today, December 20 2024:

December 20th

Activate the Dusk Mainnet Onramp contract on Ethereum and BSC. The contract will allow users to move ERC20/BEP20 DUSK to Mainnet and secure immediate availability with the launch of Mainnet cluster on the 29th as stakes or deposits.

December 22nd

Official release of all Mainnet technical components and libraries.

December 23rd

Reset and relaunch Devnet with accelerated block times and Nocturne with normal block times.

December 29th (Mainnet Cluster Launch)

Start Mainnet cluster in dry-run mode. Stakes are created in the Mainnet genesis through the Dusk Mainnet Onramp contract. From this point on only deposits can be on-ramped.

January 3rd

Deposits are on-ramped in the Mainnet genesis as Moonlight balances and are fully available. Mainnet cluster is refreshed in dry-run mode. Funds can no longer be on-ramped with the Dusk Mainnet Onramp contract.

January 7th

Mainnet cluster is refreshed in operational mode. The Mainnet Bridge contract is launched for subsequent ERC20/BEP20 DUSK migration.

The Dusk Mainnet marks the beginning of a new financial paradigm—where compliance meets innovation, and blockchain integrates seamlessly with the world of finance. As we turn this vision into reality, we invite you to be a part of this transformative journey. December 29th is just the start.
