Dusk x Chainlink: A New Era for On-Chain RWAs
We're excited to announce a strategic partnership between Dusk and Chainlink, designed to unlock the full potential of real-world assets (RWAs) on-chain. This collaboration represents a major leap forward for institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure, and a pivotal moment for the future of compliant, tokenized finance.
What’s Happening?
This partnership combines the compliant privacy-first blockchain of Dusk with the industry-standard interoperability protocol from Chainlink. Here’s what that means in practice:
- Dusk EVM joins Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) DuskEVM becomes natively interoperable with the broader tokenized asset ecosystem across all CCIP-connected chains. This integration opens the door for seamless movement and composability of tokenized RWAs between networks, laying the foundation for a truly interconnected financial layer.
- NPEX to List Select Tokenized RWAs for Secondary Market Trading
Institutional-grade RWAs that are onboarded to DuskEVM and have passed thorough due diligence will be eligible for listing on NPEX, Dusk’s native exchange venue.
- On-Chain Oracle Support for Dusk L1
Dusk’s Layer 1 blockchain will integrate secure oracle infrastructure to support real-time data feeds for price discovery, compliance, and settlement of tokenized RWAs. This unlocks the ability to launch RWA DEX trading directly on-chain, within the guardrails of regulatory compliance and under the umbrella of the NPEX MTF license.
Interoperability at all levels
Working with Chainlink provides real value not only to the Dusk community, but to NPEX, their clients, and regulated finance more broadly. By merging secure interoperability with compliant execution environments, we’re creating a pathway for institutions to move real assets on-chain with confidence.
Whether it’s tokenized securities, bonds, or other real-world instruments, the combined stack enables:
- Cross-chain composability with leading RWA protocols
- Regulated secondary market access via NPEX listings
- Decentralized exchange infrastructure that respects compliance
In short: this is what institutional DeFi is supposed to look like.
Looking Ahead
This is just the beginning. With DuskEVM on CCIP, a licensed trading venue in NPEX, and oracle support for secure RWA trading, we’re building the infrastructure that makes real-world asset adoption inevitable.
Once we have the DLT-TSS, Chainlink will start using Dusk and NPEX as a data feed in their asset pricing oracles, providing on-chain data for regulated assets.
As tokenization continues to accelerate, Dusk and Chainlink are ensuring that the rails are ready, not just for speed, but for scale, security, and compliance.
