look,Something about Dusk keeps getting flattened into "privacy coin," and I think that's the wrong bucket entirely. XSC isn't really about hiding transactions for their own sake it's about who gets to see your position before it's settled. That's a very different problem.
Here's the thing nobody talks about: open mempools aren't neutral. They're a standing invitation for whoever's fastest to extract value from whoever's slowest. Sandwich attacks, liquidation sniping, front-running none of that is some external exploit. It's just what happens when intent is visible before execution. Confidential contracts don't add privacy on top of a chain that already works. They remove the thing predatory strategies actually feed on.
That matters more for real securities than for retail trading. No institution is going to tokenize actual financial instruments onto a chain where competitors can read pricing and position size mid-negotiation. That's not a preference they might grow out of it's a hard blocker no amount of speed or fees fixes.
So when people price DUSK like a privacy-narrative token rises with the theme, fades when attention moves I think they're missing where the actual value sits. This isn't a feature. It's closer to a precondition for serious capital ever touching public chains at all. Worth sitting with before writing it off as niche.
