Over the past year, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) have exploded into the spotlight with tokenization touted as the solution to inefficiencies in finance.

It’s a powerful trend. But here’s the overlooked truth:

Tokenization alone is just putting a digital skin on a system that’s already broken.

If we want to truly transform capital markets not just cosmetically improve them, we need to go deeper. At Dusk, we’re building the infrastructure for native issuance of financial instruments on-chain.

We believe that it is native issuance, not just tokenization, that will unlock the benefits of blockchain for regulated assets and overhaul to way we \"do\" finance.

Tokenization vs. Native Issuance

Let’s clarify the terms:

Tokenization typically wraps an existing off-chain asset in an on-chain digital representation. The asset still lives in traditional databases, under legacy processes.
Native issuance, by contrast, creates the asset directly on-chain, embedding compliance, trading rules, and settlement logic at the protocol level.

Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?

Because it’s hard. Extremely hard.

Native issuance requires building blockchain infrastructure that meets the standards of institutional finance.

That means:

Navigating securities law
Embedding MiFID II and MiCA compliance
Integrating with regulated market venues and institutions
Enabling privacy-preserving compliance through advanced cryptography
Delivering performance, stability, and trust at every level of the stack

You must be as flexible as a smart contract platform and as regulated as a central securities depository.

Very few can do both. Dusk can.

A European Framework, Built for Institutions

While many DeFi protocols operate in regulatory gray zones, Dusk builds with regulation as the starting point, not an afterthought.

We’re aligned with the EU’s MiCA framework and MiFID II requirements, enabling compliant issuance, transfer, and settlement of digital securities, including equity, debt, and structured financial products.

And we’re not doing it in isolation.

Through our close partnership with NPEX, the Dutch SME exchange, Dusk is supporting regulated primary issuances on-chain, making it possible for companies to raise capital in a fully digital, compliant environment.

Why It Matters

Traditional capital markets are riddled with inefficiencies:

T+2 settlement cycles
High costs and friction
Fragmented databases and intermediaries
Limited market access for smaller issuers

Even with tokenization, many of these problems remain, because the asset’s lifecycle is still governed by off-chain infrastructure.

With native issuance on Dusk, assets are born digital:

Issuance, KYC, AML, and compliance are baked in
Secondary trading is instant, private, and compliant
Settlements are T+0, and accessible 24/7
Institutions can meet regulatory standards while operating in a blockchain-native environment

It’s not just about modernizing finance but fundamentally re-architecting it.

What Comes Next

As institutional interest in RWAs intensifies, the market will quickly outgrow simple wrappers and synthetic tokens. Regulators, issuers, and investors will demand deeper integration, better compliance, and real efficiency gains.

That’s where Dusk comes in.

We’re not here to tokenize broken processes.

We’re here to replace them with programmable, compliant, privacy-preserving financial infrastructure.

At Dusk, security isn’t just a priority - It’s the very foundation of our protocol. With mainnet now live, we’re operating on infrastructure that’s been battle-tested long before launch. Trust is the most valuable asset we can offer to our community and the institutions building on Dusk. That’s why we’ve subjected our entire tech stack to extensive, top-tier audits by some of the most respected experts in the industry.

These audits are not a checkbox exercise; they’re about making sure that every aspect of our technology is battle-tested and ready to perform under the toughest conditions. With 10 different audits, and over 200 pages of reporting, it’s fair to say that this has been one of the most rigorous audits of any blockchain out there.

Piecrust VM & PLONK Zero-Knowledge Proving System - Audited by Porter Adams

Our Virtual Machine, Piecrust, and the PLONK zero-knowledge proving system form the backbone of Dusk’s smart contract platform and privacy features. Porter Adams, a highly respected cryptographer and security engineer, audited these components.

The Piecrust audit identified two high-severity issues - overflow/underflow risks and a potential denial of service attack. These issues were quickly resolved. Beyond these findings, Porter Adams praised the codebase’s high quality, noting its idiomatic Rust structure, extensive test coverage and thorough documentation.

For PLONK, only two low-severity findings were found, which were quickly addressed. Porter Adams was particularly impressed with the code’s quality, citing the documentation, testing and in-line comments as some of the best he has ever encountered.

BLS Signature Scheme and Hash functions (Poseidon252, SAFE) - Audited by JP Aumasson

JP Aumasson, another highly respected cryptographer, conducted an exhaustive audit on our critical cryptographic primitives, namely our BLS signatures and hashing algorithms (Poseidon and SAFE).

The audit of our BLS implementation revealed a few areas for improvement, such as making sure that all necessary checks are in place for public key validation and the secure erasure of secrets in memory. These issues were quickly fixed. The audit also praised our choice of cryptographic primitives.

Similarly, the Poseidon and SAFE hash functions were audited for implementation consistency. The findings were minimal, with minor quality issues that were addressed quickly. The audit confirmed that our implementations are both secure and consistent with their respective specifications.

Economic Protocol Design - Audited by Pol Finance

The economic protocol is the game theoretical engine of our blockchain, dictating how incentives, rewards and fees are structured. Pol Finance, a firm with deep blockchain expertise, conducted an audit of our economic framework.

Their audit confirms that our economic framework is designed for long-term sustainability, security and decentralization. By integrating a mix of new and old strategies for token emissions, distribution and gas price calculation, Dusk is positioned to create a thriving ecosystem. The report praises our dynamic token supply adjustment, which aligns with network growth, and our reward structure, designed to incentivize active participation in consensus through voting and block creation.

Protocol Security, Consensus and Node Library - Audited by Oak Security

Our protocol security, consensus mechanism and node library has gone through an extensive audit by Oak Security, a leading blockchain security firm.

The Succinct Attestation (SA) consensus protocol developed by Dusk is designed to make our blockchain operate efficiently and securely. It makes use of a committee-based Proof-of-Stake model where provisioners - our stakers - are chosen through a Deterministic Sortition algorithm. This process makes sure that the network remains resilient against threats. The audit confirms that our consensus protocol effectively balances security with performance.

The audit for SA found a number of issues around slashing incentives and voting logic. All critical and major vulnerabilities were resolved. Several recommended improvements were acknowledged and are scheduled for refinement in upcoming releases.

The Rusk node library is the core implementation of the Dusk protocol, responsible for consensus, transaction handling, and block propagation. The audit put forth a couple of issues, ranging from consensus-level bugs to minor issues and code hygiene concerns. All critical and major issues were resolved, including faulty validation logic and unbounded mempool growth. The audit praised the overall code readability and architecture.

Kadcast Networking Protocol - Audited by Blaize

Kadcast is the backbone of our peer-to-peer communication, making sure that data is efficiently propagated across the network. To validate its robustness, we asked Blaize, a respected blockchain cybersecurity firm, to conduct an in-depth audit.

The audit confirmed that Kadcast successfully meets high security standards and has excellent code quality. While a few issues were identified - such as deviations from the specifications and minor code issues - these were quickly resolved. The audit also highlighted further areas for improvement, particularly in documentation and testing, which we are committed to updating.

Overall, the audit reaffirms Kadcast’s ability of scaling with a growing number of validators and network participants while maintaining efficiency.

Phoenix - Audited by Jules de Smit

Phoenix is Dusk’s privacy-preserving transfer protocol. A zero-knowledge UTXO system built for compliant and confidential value transfers. We commissioned an independent cryptographer to audit Phoenix across both the native and in-circuit implementations.

The audit confirmed that Phoenix is well-specified and well-implemented. All logic was clearly aligned with the formal spec, and the codebase was praised for its documentation and clarity. A few minor issues were found, including a Zeroize usage improvement, a potential supply-chain attack risk related to dependency pinning, and some room for abstraction, but no critical flaws or vulnerabilities were identified. All suggestions were implemented and resolved.

One-way Bridge Migration Contract- Audited by Zellic

To support the migration from ERC20 and BEP20 DUSK to native Dusk, we built a dedicated one-way bridge contract and submitted it to Zellic for auditing. Zellic is a leading security firm known for its vulnerability research expertise across L1s, smart contracts, and cryptographic protocols.

The audit confirmed the contract’s correctness and robustness. No vulnerabilities were found. The assessment covered core attack surfaces such as reentrancy, rounding precision, and token loss scenarios, and validated the contract’s ability to perform secure, one-way conversions from ERC20/BEP20 DUSK to native DUSK.

Conclusion

At Dusk, we believe that transparency creates trust. By putting our protocol through some of the most intensive audits in the space, we’re not just telling you our network meets a certain level of security - we’re proving it.

Each audit was a milestone on our journey to mainnet. Together, they reinforce the core pillars of what we’re building; a blockchain that is secure, scalable, and ready for institutional-grade applications. And with mainnet now live, these foundations are no longer theoretical.

Our mission is to become the backbone of financial markets, enabling privacy-preserving and compliant financial solutions on-chain. These audits are essential for building the trust needed for institutional adoption. Dusk is positioned to become the trusted Financial Market Infrastructure that enables financial institutions and enterprises to issue securities and real world-assets natively, on-chain.

We are pleased to share our strategic collaboration with 21X, with Dusk being onboarded as a trade participant. Additionally, deeper integrations planned, including 21X integrating our DuskEVM chain.

This is a fantastic strategic partnership for Dusk. 21X is the first company to receive the DLT-TSS license under European regulation for a fully tokenized securities market. Our work, expertise, and goals are closely aligned, and we are thrilled to add another regulation-focused collaboration to our growing list of partnerships.

Through this partnership, we gain access to their regulatory exemption, while they gain the use of our institution-grade blockchain and infrastructure.

This is a great opportunity for both of us, and an even bigger opportunity for capital markets to bring their assets and issuance on-chain, compliantly, and easily.

Real-world assets (RWAs) are one of the fastest-growing and most exciting areas of crypto, not to mention the value of regulated assets more broadly; trillions of dollars of stocks, bonds, and other securities, not to mention currencies, real estate, and more.

Why 21X is a perfect fit

21X is a leader in the real-world asset (RWA) space. The first to receive the DLT-TSS. This means they are able to:

Combine Trading and Settlement Functions

Traditionally, trading platforms and central securities depositories (CSDs) operate separately. 21X is permitted to merge these functions into a single DLT Trading and Settlement System (DLT TSS). This integration allows for atomic, real-time settlement of trades directly on the blockchain, eliminating the need for intermediaries and reducing settlement times to mere seconds
Operate on a Public, Permissionless Blockchain

While many regulated financial platforms use private blockchains, 21X is authorized to operate public and permissionless blockchains.

A powerful partnership

We met the 21X team last year at the TokenFuture event in Frankfurt, and it was clear from the beginning that there was huge potential for collaboration. It was great to see another team with such focus on regulatory compliance, and we saw a lot of potential for future collaborations.

The scope of the partnership will initially focus on access to 21X’s regulated market infrastructure, specifically stablecoin treasury management, with 21X planning to integrate DuskEVM, our EVM-compatible chain, as one of their supported blockchains.

This will give institutions another way to use Dusk’s powerful, private, and compliant infrastructure. We are built to allow institutions to natively issue and manage the full lifecycle of an asset on-chain, rapidly reducing time and costs, and facilitating better finance.

Partnerships like this are the beginning of tokenizing and natively issuing everything!

An on-chain financial system

Looking ahead, we’re continuing to onboard NPEX, a Netherlands-based stock exchange and one of our key partners, onto the Dusk blockchain, bringing their €300M AUM on-chain.

With other recent partnerships like PlayMatika, who will use DuskPay as part of their payment system for gaming, the pieces are falling into place for Dusk.

With each new integration, each licensed partnership, and each regulatory alignment, Dusk is building more than a blockchain—we’re building the infrastructure for capital markets to operate securely and natively on-chain.

We’re excited to welcome 21X into the growing Dusk ecosystem, and we look forward to what we’ll build together.
