Dusk's testnet ecosystem is rapidly maturing, with over 8,000 active nodes currently running online, and the schedule for the official mainnet launch has been clearly defined. Behind this progress is the project's continuous investment in infrastructure development.

What is even more noteworthy is the breakthrough at the application layer of the ecosystem. Dusk's deep collaboration with NPEX, a traditional Dutch financial institution, marks a new milestone in the practical application of blockchain technology in the RWA (Real-World Asset on-chain) field. This is not merely a technical validation but a direct recognition of blockchain infrastructure by traditional financial institutions.

From last year's concept hype in the RWA track to this year's practical applications, participants are becoming increasingly pragmatic. Dusk's choice to cooperate with established financial institutions rather than going it alone reflects the project's strategic clarity. From node data on the testnet to the rhythm of mainnet launch, and to the ecosystem integration of compliant finance, this thread runs very clearly.
