#dusk $DUSK @Dusk
"Hidden cost of transparency" is framed as a general problem, but reading through $DUSK and #Dusk material, the actual cost being described is oddly one-sided — it's the cost to institutions and large holders whose positions become traceable, not the cost to ordinary users, who mostly benefit from public chains being auditable. The alternative Dusk proposes solves a discomfort that's real but concentrated in a specific group, then presents it as a universal tradeoff everyone was implicitly paying. Compared to how @Aleo_HQ pitches privacy as a default consumer right, or how @Aztec_Network frames confidentiality around individual transaction privacy first, Dusk's framing reads more institution-outward than user-inward, which isn't wrong, just narrower than "hidden cost of full transparency" suggests at first glance. The cost was mostly hidden to whoever wasn't the one paying it. That's worth sitting with before assuming the alternative is solving a shared problem rather than a specific one.
