Your bank has never seen your balance. it still knows every check you write is good. It looks strange and Sounds impossible!
That's basically what @Dusk_Foundation is doing with hedger. it combines homomorphic encryption with zero-knowledge proofs, encrypting holdings and transaction amounts while still letting the network verify everything's correct without exposing the undErlying values and it does it in under two seconds without leaving your browser. because duskevm is EVM-compatible, it works with the solidity tooling developers already know.
the interesting part is what it doesn't try to do. zedger was built around a UTXO model and can offer stronger anonymity, while hedger is designed for the EVM environment and focuses on confidential transactions and balances rather than full anonymity.
i'm not saying that's a flaw. it's the tradeoff for bringing privacy into an EVM environment instead of asking developers to move to a completely different stack.
dusk also says hedger is fully auditable by design and supports selective disclosure when regulated participants need evidence. what's still worth digging into is how that disclosure actually works, who can request it and what authorization is required bef0re encrypted data becomes visible.
that's where "private but auditable" becomes more than a slogan.
