So where, in practice, is the standout application of Dusk?
In the past, I used to think that the more transparent a blockchain for finance is, the more trustworthy it is. If transaction data can be seen and verified publicly, then I assumed that was an advantage. But the more I read about Dusk, the more I realized this way of thinking was missing an important piece.
What changed my mind was how @Dusk_Foundation describes programmable privacy: private when you need it, transparent when it’s useful, and able to selectively disclose information to authorized parties. At first glance, it sounds like just another rephrasing of privacy—but in reality, it sets a much harder problem. In regulated financial markets, not all data should be public, yet you also can’t leave everything entirely behind encryption with no one able to verify it.
I started looking at Hedger through that lens. Using homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge proofs isn’t only about hiding information. #dusk #DUSKARMY.
