Been poking around Dusk's independent explorer, this week and one number stopped me: in the most recent 24h window, only 21 of 252 total transactions were Shielded transfers the rest 231, were Moonlight, the transparent transaction type.
That's roughly 8% privacy usage on a chain whose entire pitch is confidential, ZK shielded settlement.
I dug a bit further because I expected the opposite. Contract calls sat at 89 for the same window and the failure rate was 9.9% high enough that I checked twice, thinking it was a display glitch.
It wasn't, it's a live counter, and average fees ~0.0136 DUSK and gas price 1 LUX both looked normal, so this isn't spam driven congestion, it's failed calls mixed into otherwise routine activity.
What this tells me: current usage on Dusk looks like plain public-chain activity transfers, staking related calls, contract interaction not the confidential transfer use case the project is built around.
That could mean early users are testers/validators doing routine ops, or that Moonlight is simply the default flow for most wallets right now.
What I can't confirm: whether this 24h snapshot is typical or an outlier, I don't have historical shielded moonlight ratios to compare against. Anyone tracking that split over time?
