One thing I noticed while digging into Dusk is that its privacy approach is a little different from how I first understood it.

It’s not simply trying to make everything hidden.
What stood out to me is the idea of keeping sensitive information private while still being able to reveal the specific details that actually need to be verified.
That makes more sense when you think about financial applications. You might need to prove that someone is allowed to hold or transfer an asset, but that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone should see their full identity or financial history.
Dusk’s approach with XSCs and selective disclosure made me realize that privacy in finance isn’t really about disappearing. It’s more about having control over what gets revealed, to whom, and when.
That feels like a much more practical problem to solve.
I used to think the main question for a privacy blockchain was “how much can you hide?”
Now I think the better question might be “how much can you choose to reveal?”
Curious how others see this — is selective privacy more useful for real-world financial applications than complete anonymity?
