@Dusk Confidential smart contracts are trending because “open by default” is starting to look like a dealbreaker for real finance. If every bid, salary, collateral ratio, or counterparty detail is permanently visible, a lot of sensible on-chain ideas never leave the whiteboard. Dusk takes a pragmatic route: keep the network public, but keep the sensitive inputs private while still proving the contract rules were followed.
What feels like real progress lately is the developer path. DuskEVM lets teams deploy with familiar EVM tooling, while DuskDS provides the settlement layer underneath. Even the unglamorous bits, like bridging funds into the EVM environment for testing, are documented clearly. That kind of boring clarity is usually a good sign.
