#dusk $DUSK @Dusk Previously, I often thought that when a blockchain wants to attract financial applications, the most important thing is still to make building feel familiar. EVM, Solidity, available tools... the less that needs to change, the easier it is for developers to jump in. I once saw that as almost a sufficient condition.
But when I read about DuskEVM, one detail made me rethink: Hedger isn’t just added as a standard security layer—it uses homomorphic encryption combined with zero-knowledge proofs to create private EVM workflows that can still be verified.
This made me realize I’d oversimplified the privacy problem quite a bit. For a typical financial application, “hiding data” sounds like a clear goal. But for regulated organizations, if everything is completely concealed, privacy can turn into an issue. They still need the ability to check transactions, verify conditions, or prove that a process complies with regulations without necessarily exposing all the underlying data.
From that perspective, DuskEVM isn’t only trying to bring the EVM to another blockchain. More notably, it’s attempting to resolve the tension between privacy and verifiability.
I still don’t think this architecture alone is enough to prove that Dusk will succeed. The upcoming mainnet is when those ideas will face real-world pressure. I want to keep observing how Hedger performs when truly live financial processes run on it.
