What if privacy isn’t the real advantage?
What if the real advantage is controlling who sees the information first, and when they can act on it?
That’s how I started looking at selective disclosure differently.
At first, I thought it was mainly a compliance feature.
Give regulators the information they need, keep everyone else’s wallet activity private, and move on.
But the trading side is where it gets interesting.
If certain information isn’t visible to everyone at the same time, some familiar advantages start disappearing.
Whales have less information to trade against.
Bots lose some of the timing signals they normally rely on.
And traders who built strategies around public data suddenly have to make decisions with less certainty.
That creates a different kind of friction.
Selective disclosure doesn't simply hide information.
It changes who gets to act on it, and when.
Some traders will adapt.
Others may decide the edge they were chasing simply isn't worth it anymore.
And that can quietly change market behavior.
That’s the part of Dusk’s approach I find most interesting.
Maybe the value of selective disclosure isn't privacy for privacy's sake.
Maybe it's making manipulation harder while still allowing authorized parties to verify what actually needs to be verified.
The bigger question for me is what happens to demand when the old information advantage disappears.
If the edge disappears, does the demand remain?
