One thing about @Dusk that I find interesting is that I don’t see it simply as a blockchain trying to hide transactions.
I see it as an attempt to solve a harder problem: how can financial information stay confidential while still being verifiable?
Public blockchains make verification easy because data is visible. But institutional finance may not want every balance, position, transaction pattern, or exposure publicly observable.
That’s where concepts like confidential smart contracts, zero-knowledge proofs, access control, and selective disclosure become important. They are not the same thing, but together they can potentially allow the right information to be verified by the right people without exposing everything to everyone.
For me, this is where DUSK becomes interesting.
But I also think the difficult questions are still open: Who controls disclosure? Can compliance requirements introduce new centralization risks? And can selective disclosure remain genuinely decentralized?
Maybe public blockchains were never too transparent in general; perhaps they were simply too transparent for certain kinds of capital.
Could programmable control over who can see financial information become more important than simply making transactions private?
