We’ve officially entered the acceptance testing phase for DuskEVM — our EVM-compatible application layer bringing regulatory compliance and privacy to the Ethereum ecosystem.
At this stage, development is considered feature-complete, with only minor work left around the bridge integration for the web wallet. The remaining focus is on testing and documentation.
DuskEVM Testing & Stability
The team is running an extensive round of tests to validate all core systems before launch.
During this phase, the DuskEVM dev/testnet might occasionally go offline as we intentionally introduce and recover from simulated tests (like communication disruptions between L1 and L2) to test edge cases and disaster-recovery scenarios.
Here’s a look at what’s being verified:
- L2 contracts deployed successfully from genesis
- L1 bridge contracts deployed and functional
- End-to-end bridge operations (deposits + withdrawals)
- Web wallet integration (bridge UX)
- L2 reproducibility from data blobs on L1
- Full Rusk node sync from scratch without errors
- Impact of blob storage on node operators (minimal impact confirmed)
DuskEVM Rollout Plan
- Devnet Rollout: Feature-frozen Rusk build is deployed and tested end-to-end (bridge, RPC, blobs, wallet).
- Testnet Rollout: Once stable on devnet, the same tests are repeated on testnet with broader validation.
- Mainnet Rollout: After passing all tests, DuskEVM and the new Rusk version will roll out to mainnet. We’ll closely monitor node behaviour and have rollback contingencies in place just in case.
If you’re a Node Operator, keep an eye out for announcements around upcoming (Rusk) node updates.
DLT-TSS License Update
On the regulatory side, the work on the DLT-TSS license application is almost complete.
The next step is to schedule one final meeting with regulators before submission. This is a formal requirement of the process, where the applicant must present and discuss the proposal in detail before it’s officially filed.
This meeting serves as a pre-submission alignment step to ensure the authorities are fully briefed on the scope, compliance model, and risk mitigation measures of the license. Once that’s done, Dusk and NPEX will proceed with the official submission.
DuskEVM’s development has reached the final stretch. Stay tuned for more updates and join the Dusk Community !
