Last year I moved apartments from District 7 to Thu Duc. Changed my address, changed utility contracts, changed vehicle registration. But one thing I kept: my phone number. I'd been using that number for eight years. Every bank account, every messaging app, every email recovery was tied to it. Changing the number would mean rebuilding everything from scratch. Thankfully, the carrier let me keep it when I moved.
Blockchain is going through that exact "moving" phase right now. Thousands of developers have built applications in Solidity on Ethereum. Their code, their tooling, their expertise, all of it is tied to the EVM ecosystem. Asking them to learn a new language from scratch is like asking them to change a phone number they've used for eight years.
@Dusk_Foundation addresses this with DuskEVM, an execution layer that's compatible with Ethereum. Developers write Solidity, use Hardhat, and deploy contracts exactly the way they always have, but applications running on Dusk gain a security layer that the original EVM doesn't offer: confidential transactions powered by Zero-Knowledge Proofs, without rewriting a single line of code.
Self-critique: EVM compatibility means inheriting EVM's limitations too. Solidity has known vulnerability patterns that the Ethereum community is still patching incrementally. DuskEVM adds privacy on top, but if the smart contract underneath has a bug, the privacy layer doesn't fix that bug. Keeping your old phone number is convenient, but if that number was already compromised, moving to a new apartment doesn't solve the original problem.
$DUSK should be evaluated based on how its privacy layer handles vulnerabilities inherited from EVM compatibility, not just on how seamlessly developers can migrate.
