Spent the morning going through how @Dusk_Foundation actually implements confidential transactions, and one thing threw me off I expected privacy here to be a feature sitting on top of the chain, like an optional mode you toggle. It's not. It's built into the base layer using zero knowledge proofs, so you prove something is true you're solvent, you are eligible, a trade settled without showing the numbers behind it.
What's underneath that is more interesting than the privacy itself: auditors can still verify, but everyone else just sees a valid transaction and nothing more. Most chains force a choice a mixer for secrecy, or full transparency for institutional trust. Dusk is betting selective disclosure kills that tradeoff entirely, which is the logic behind Zedger and the RWA tokenization angle, and part of why DuskEVM matters Solidity devs can build on this model without learning something new.
Honestly, the part I ca not settle is whether "provably compliant" holds up the same way "fully visible" does once a regulator actually pressure tests it in a real dispute. NPEX suggests institutions are willing to try it. Willing to try isn't the same as proven.
Still sitting with that one.
