$DUSK I’ve been looking at Citadel 2 on @DuskFoundation, and one thing genuinely changed how I think about investor eligibility.
I used to assume that proving someone is eligible would eventually mean putting more of their identity onchain. Citadel takes a different approach. A trusted License Provider checks the user offchain, signs the relevant attributes, and registers an encrypted license. Later, the user can prove they hold that license without exposing their identity, personal details, wallet key, or even which specific license was used.
What I like here is the separation of responsibilities. Citadel can verify the proof, but it doesn’t decide who gets access. The Service Provider still decides which providers it trusts and what its own rules require.
That feels much more practical to me. Privacy doesn’t mean removing accountability; it means exposing only what actually needs to be verified.
My take: this is the kind of infrastructure that could make blockchain-based financial systems more usable where privacy, compliance, and trust all matter.
Does Citadel 2 change how you think about onchain identity?
