I still think the most interesting question around DuskEVM isn’t whether developers can use familiar EVM tooling.

It’s what happens when familiar EVM development meets the privacy requirements of regulated finance.

DuskEVM is designed as the EVM-compatible application layer in the Dusk stack, while Hedger is the privacy module for EVM workflows. What caught my attention is that Hedger uses homomorphic encryption and zero-knowledge proofs to support confidential transaction flows.

That creates an interesting tension.

In normal public blockchain environments, transparency makes verification easier. But financial institutions often have information that cannot simply be exposed to everyone.

So the challenge becomes more specific: can transactions remain confidential while still allowing the right information to be verified or disclosed when required?

My observation is that this is a much harder problem than simply “adding privacy” to an EVM environment.

I’m interested to see how this architecture behaves when real financial applications start using it.

If institutions need selective disclosure, who should ultimately control what becomes visible: the application, the regulator, or the protocol?
