this one took me a second read to actualy get straight,
phoenix is the transaction model dusk uses under neath, and it has two note types. transparent notes just show the value in the. $ALON

0pen. obfuscated notes encrypt the value and blinder so only the recipient can see whats actually in there.
what got me is you can spend a transparent output confidentially. the amount was visible when it landed but the proof needed to spend it doesnt reveal anything new about how its being...

used. thats apparently a deliberate design choice for systems where the final cost of a computation isnt known until execution finishes.
so its not. $VELVET

privacy by default everywhere, its privacy where the spending logic actualy needs it. thats a different philosophy than most.

privacy chains ive seen.
still trying to figure out how often obfuscated notes actually get used in practice versus transparent ones?????
