The more I watch blockchain evolve, the less convinced I am that “put everything onchain” is the final goal.
Maybe the more important question is:
What actually needs to be proven?
A financial institution might need to prove ownership.
An investor might need to prove eligibility.
A transaction may need to prove that it followed certain rules.
But none of these automatically require exposing every piece of information behind the proof.
That’s the part of @Dusk I find worth watching.
DUSK approaches blockchain privacy from a different direction: instead of treating verification and confidentiality as opposites, the goal is to make them work together.
And I think that matters beyond privacy itself.
If onchain finance eventually handles serious financial activity, the ability to prove something without unnecessarily exposing everything could become just as important as speed or cost.
The interesting future may not be a blockchain where everything is visible.
It may be a blockchain where everything important is provable.
