"Selective disclosure" sounds like a phrase built for a pitch deck. Then you actually open Dusk's web wallet and find it's just a dropdown.
The Send tab asks for a recipient and an amount, same as any wallet. Then it asks one more thing: public or shielded, chosen fresh for every transfer, not locked in account-wide. Public transfers move through a system called Moonlight, visible on-chain the normal way. Shielded transfers move through Phoenix, hiding who sent what and how much — while still leaving the person receiving the funds able to cryptographically prove they were paid, if that ever needs proving.
That's the whole design, really. Not secrecy for its own sake, but privacy with a deliberate way back to proof, built into a menu instead of left in a whitepaper.
Nobody's written a headline about a dropdown. But it's the first place this idea stopped being theoretical.
