Alex — a “secret” trader at an RWA desk — was sharing his Zoom screen with a partner to show off his “exclusive” strategy.

Unfortunately, his MetaMask tab was still wide open, with his entire position size and trading history displayed like an LED billboard on the street.

The partner awkwardly laughed it off. Five minutes later, bots had completely front-run him.

Alex could only cover his face: “Next time, I’m only sharing PowerPoint…” 😂

On @Dusk_Foundation , that kind of “leak” is much harder to happen.

DuskEVM testnet is live, allowing developers to deploy contracts using familiar Solidity + Hardhat workflows. Confidential workflows run through Hedger, combining homomorphic encryption (ElGamal over ECC) with zero-knowledge proofs.

According to the project’s official announcements, lightweight circuits can generate client-side proofs in under 2 seconds, keeping amounts, balances, and intents encrypted end-to-end while still allowing audits when required by regulators.

Settlement is powered by DuskDS with Succinct Attestation consensus (committee-based PoS). Key parameters stated in the official docs and 2024 whitepaper include:

1/ Minimum stake: 1,000 $DUSK
2/ Epoch duration: 2,160 blocks
3/ Committee credits: 64
4/ Maximum iterations: 50
5/ Deterministic finality within seconds

Phoenix supports shielded transfers, Moonlight handles transparent transactions, and Citadel enables selective disclosure.

Alex can still prove eligibility, keep transactions private, and settle quickly — exactly the kind of programmable privacy needed for regulated markets.

No more “share screen and accidentally reveal the entire strategy.” 😄
