And I think that changes what the actually means.
It isn’t an empty delay where nothing is happening. By the time DuskVM has accepted the XSC proof, something important is already known: the receiver is eligible, the confidential conditions have been satisfied, and the contract has no reason to reject the transfer on those grounds.
But eligibility is not ownership.
That distinction becomes much clearer if I stop looking at the proof as the thing that transfers the security. The proof authorizes the state transition without exposing everything behind it. DuskVM verifies that authorization.
DuskDS does something different.
It decides when that authorized transition becomes an irreversible part of Dusk L1 history.
So the architecture is separating two questions I kept merging together:
Can this ownership change happen?
And:
Has this ownership change finally happened?
The first can already be answered inside the XSC execution path.
The second still waits for deterministic finality.
And now I think I understand why that separation matters. If payment readiness, compliance logic, confidential verification, and final ownership all became “one moment,” it would be much harder to reason about exactly where settlement stands.
Dusk seems to make the boundary explicit instead.
The proof gets me through the condition.
DuskDS closes the ownership.
