$STAR is showing strong buyer momentum after a sharp 24h move. Price is consolidating near 0.145, while 0.1400 acts as important support. Holding this area could keep the bullish structure intact, with liquidity sitting around the recent 0.1515 high. A clean breakout above resistance may attract further buyers, while losing 0.1400 would weaken the setup.
One thing about @Dusk that caught my attention is that I don’t think its privacy story is really about hiding transactions.
The bigger question, at least for me, is whether financial blockchains can be transparent without making everything visible to everyone.
Public blockchains are great for verification because I can see what is happening. But imagine an institution having every balance, position, exposure, and transaction pattern publicly observable. That level of transparency may not work for every kind of financial activity.
At the same time, regulators, auditors, and counterparties still need to verify certain information.
This is where selective disclosure becomes interesting.
Privacy is the goal. Confidentiality limits who can access information. Zero-knowledge proofs can prove something without exposing the underlying data. Access control decides who is allowed to see it. Selective disclosure is about revealing only what is actually needed.
Dusk is trying to build around this idea with confidential smart contracts and its( XSC )standard.
But I think there is a catch.
Who decides when information should be disclosed?
If compliance depends on permission systems, could solving the privacy problem create a new centralization problem?
I see Dusk as an interesting attempt, not a finished answer.
Maybe public blockchains were never too transparent in general; perhaps they were simply too transparent for certain kinds of capital.
The real question is: will controlling who can see financial information matter more than simply making transactions private?
