I keep coming back to one thing with Dusk: good privacy tech means very little if developers don’t actually want to build with it.

The problem feels pretty simple to me. Financial apps may need confidential execution, but most developers already know Ethereum, Solidity, Foundry, Hardhat, and the usual EVM tooling. Asking them to learn a completely different environment can become a barrier on its own.

What I find interesting about Dusk is how it approaches that problem. DuskEVM gives developers a more familiar EVM environment, while DuskDS handles settlement and data availability. Developers who want deeper access to Dusk’s native capabilities can use DuskVM, built around Rust/WASM with support for privacy and ZK execution.

I like the direction, but I’m still not completely convinced.

Supporting different execution environments sounds useful, but it also gives developers more things to understand. For me, the real test isn’t whether Dusk can support them. It’s whether developers actually choose to build there.

I think that distinction matters.

Can Dusk make private blockchain development feel normal, or will developers only care about privacy when they absolutely need it?
