Dusk goes live on Sepolia, first step of Encrypted Markets

Dusk is now live on the Sepolia testnet, marking the first live phase of Nillion's Encrypted Markets roadmap. Dusk brings the Covenants primitive to Ethereum L1, letting traders post instructions onchain in encrypted form and keep them sealed until a price or time condition is met. The posts detail the mechanic — for instance, a trade instruction can be posted now, encrypted, and remain unreadable until a condition like BTC hitting $80k triggers it, even though observers can see a Covenant was posted.

Nillion positions Dusk as the first venue built on the Covenants primitive, which it describes as the core of Encrypted Markets, allowing trading intent to stay private by default. The rollout includes an announcement and a live experiment link for developers on Sepolia.
