I've been spending some time looking at Dusk, and what sticks with me isn't what it hides — it's what it still has to prove. Keeping financial data private doesn't remove the need for trust, it just relocates it, into the proof system and whoever built it.

That's the long-term stakes. Finance runs on catching mistakes after they happen, and public chains made that easy by showing everything. Dusk trades that away on purpose, which makes sense for securities — but it means fewer people can see why something broke when it does.

Underneath that sits an incentive problem: validators securing activity they can't fully inspect, and institutions who wait for infrastructure to prove itself before they show up, while the infrastructure needs them to show up first.
