There is a subtle design choice inside Dusk that is easy to miss if you only look at surface metrics. The network does not try to maximize observable activity. Instead, it minimizes the amount of information that needs to be agreed upon publicly. What matters is not how much data flows through the system, but how little needs to be exposed for a shared state to be correct.
This shifts the burden of trust away from transparency and toward protocol guarantees. Validation happens without revealing unnecessary context. Agreement is reached without broadcasting intent. For regulated financial systems, this matters more than throughput charts or user counts. Dusk is not optimizing for visibility. It is optimizing for irreversibility and correctness under constraint.
