I’ve been rethinking how I evaluate execution quality.
When moving size, the standard checklist is usually spread, slippage, depth, and confirmation times. But there’s a quiet variable that can constantly degrade fills behind the scenes: information leakage.
In a fully transparent environment, the first transaction can reveal my intent. Before I can even enter the next tranche, quotes may widen, order books can thin out, and market makers may adjust. On paper, that initial fill looked clean but the total cost of building the full position can quietly balloon.
That’s what caught my attention with Dusk.
I’ve stopped looking at transaction privacy purely as a security or compliance feature. I’m viewing it as a potential tool for reducing information driven execution costs. If transaction validity can be verified on chain without exposing every sensitive detail, the dynamics around larger transfers could change significantly.
That said, theory is easy. I’m not assuming private state automatically means deeper pools or tighter fills. The real test comes under market pressure, when position size starts testing thin order books in volatile conditions.
For me, execution quality isn’t just about speed or raw spread anymore. It’s also about how much alpha I leak into the order book before my positioning is actually finished.
