On a privacy-focused Layer 1 like Dusk, privacy isn’t abstract—it’s operational.
It translates into real work: additional computation, proof generation, and more constrained execution paths.
The key difference is transparency. These costs are visible and measurable, not hidden behind vague claims of “secure defaults.”
That visibility enables informed decision-making. Teams can price privacy instead of assuming it’s free, and finance teams can model it like any other operating expense. Once costs are explicit, they can be optimized. When they’re obscured, they tend to grow unnoticed.
Finance teams don’t object to paying for privacy. They object to discovering the cost too late.
With Dusk, that trade-off is clear from the start.
