In the blockchain community, the ecosystem dividends of good projects are usually captured by early entrants. The keyword for Dusk Foundation this year is "explosion" — DuskTrade waiting list launches in January, DuskEVM mainnet is about to go live, and Hedger Alpha application is being implemented. These three events are almost happening simultaneously. In comparison, DUSK's ecosystem value is being rapidly unleashed. So how can ordinary users seize these opportunities?

Let's start with the most straightforward opportunity — the DuskTrade waiting list. This is the first RWA application launched by Dusk, aiming to bring €300 million worth of securities onto the blockchain. What signals does the waiting list opening in January send? It usually means early participants can enjoy many benefits — priority trading rights, fee discounts, exclusive event access, and more. Participating in the RWA track with minimal cost? That’s indeed a good entry point.

RWA tokenization is now one of the most important directions for blockchain adoption. What advantages does DuskTrade have? First, it is backed by NPEX’s compliance endorsement; second, it is supported by Dusk’s technical team. These two conditions together make it easy to become an industry benchmark. Getting on the waiting list early means securing a head start.

Next, let’s look at the upcoming launch of DuskEVM mainnet. As an EVM-compatible application layer, it will attract Solidity developers to migrate their projects over. From now to the coming months, you will see compliant DeFi protocols, RWA tools, and financial service applications launching one after another. What does this mean for users? More choices. You can lend, invest, and trade RWA assets on compliant DeFi platforms. The entire experience is also protected by Hedger’s privacy technology, ensuring security.

When these applications are implemented, they often bring traffic dividends. Paying close attention to ecosystem developments early on and experiencing new high-quality projects as they launch can help capture the early user dividend period.

How to do it? It’s not complicated. Joining the DuskTrade waiting list is the first step. Then, follow Dusk’s official updates on the application ecosystem and gradually try out new protocols after DuskEVM launches. During this process, you can participate and learn how to use these compliant applications, while also seizing early ecosystem participation opportunities.

In simple terms, the RWA track is just getting started, and compliant DeFi is also laying the groundwork. Both directions are hot topics for 2026. Dusk’s three major progress points happen to align with this timeline. From an ordinary user’s perspective, what needs to be done is: first, actively understand these mechanisms; second, participate early; third, keep an eye on ecosystem updates. Dividends are often reserved for those who are prepared.
