#dusk $DUSK @Dusk I keep coming back to something about Dusk that I’m still trying to understand.
If financial markets eventually move more onchain, does transparency always have to mean exposing everything?
That seems to be where Dusk gets interesting. Its architecture separates settlement from execution, with DuskDS handling consensus, settlement and data availability, while DuskVM and DuskEVM handle execution. Then there are two very different ways to transact: Moonlight for public account-based activity and Phoenix for shielded transfers using zero-knowledge proofs.
At first, I thought this was simply another privacy feature. The more I look at it, the more it feels like a question about how financial infrastructure should actually work.
Banks, funds and regulated markets need verification, but they also deal with information that cannot realistically be public all the time. So maybe the harder problem is not creating privacy, but making privacy compatible with compliance and accountability.
Dusk’s selective disclosure approach seems to be exploring that middle ground.
But I keep wondering: if blockchains can let users choose what becomes visible and what stays private, could that make onchain financial markets feel much closer to how real markets already operate?
