After three years of working, my girlfriend Jane and I managed to save around $57K. We wanted to buy a house, but property prices were too high, and we did not have enough money.
We decided to spend $7K to buy 12 BNB at $604.4.
We put the rest in the bank to earn 8.5% interest per year.
Because this was our shared money, we asked the bank to establish a few rules so that our funds could remain private while still being accessible for verification when necessary.
That was when I realized how meaningful what @dusk is building could be.
The more I thought about it, the more obvious the problem became.
Financial systems need privacy, but they also need accountability.
You don’t want your balance and every transaction exposed to everyone. But when something needs to be checked, the right people still need a way to verify it.
That is the idea behind Dusk’s programmable privacy.
Keep sensitive information private.
Keep the parts that need to be transparent verifiable.
Give authorized parties access when required.
Dusk is taking this approach directly into regulated financial markets, where privacy and compliance have to work together.
This is especially relevant for assets like bonds, ETFs, MMFs and RWAs moving onchain.
And with DuskEVM and Hedger, developers can build confidential EVM workflows using technologies such as homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge proofs.
What I like about this approach is that Dusk isn’t treating privacy as a reason to hide everything.
It is treating privacy as something that can be controlled by the rules of the financial system.
That feels much closer to how real finance actually works.
