#dusk $DUSK A few days ago, Reuters reported that hackers targeted major financial firms, including Blackstone, KKR, CME Group and Moody’s. The attackers used simple social engineering to go after sensitive access and financial information.
It made me think about a different problem in finance.
We usually talk about blockchain transparency as a strength. But what if every balance, position, counterparty and transaction was visible to everyone?
@For a normal crypto user, that may be acceptable.
For a bank, fund or financial institution, it can become a serious problem.
I used to think privacy and blockchain transparency were simply opposites. But researching Dusk changed how I look at it.
Dusk is building a Layer-1 around regulated finance, where sensitive information can stay confidential while selected information can still be disclosed for audits or compliance. Its XSC standard is designed for confidential smart contracts and tokenized securities.
The interesting part is not “privacy.”
It is selective privacy.
A regulator may need proof that a transaction follows the rules. A competitor does not need to know the size of your position.
That sounds practical.
But there is still a hard question: can confidential blockchain infrastructure deliver the privacy institutions need without making compliance and oversight harder?
That, to me, is the real test for Dusk.
Would financial markets actually use public blockchain infrastructure if privacy could be built into the system from the start?
