Dusk has one design choice I keep coming back to, mostly because it's so easy to miss. Hedger the confidential execution part of the chain isn't the default. You build normally, in plain Solidity, on DuskEVM and the private stuff only kicks in when a transaction actually calls for it. Small detail. Changes the whole question though. It's not does this chain do privacy It's will anyone actually use the private option when nothing's making them.
That's the part that feels important over years, not months. Regulated finance doesn't really want everything visible, but it doesn't want everything hidden either it wants to pick deal by deal, who sees what. Doing that on one shared chain, without splitting liquidity into a separate private chain is less about the cryptography and more about getting enough people to actually show up and use it that way together.
And that's the risk nobody talks about. Optional also means skippable. Hedger could just sit there mostly unused while normal EVM activity does all the actual work.
So honestly, I don't care much about total confidential transaction counts. I care whether the same wallets keep coming back to it, on purpose, even though it costs more. That's the only signal that would actually convince me.
