When I look at a project like @Dusk what gets me excited isn't just the token it’s the fundamental shift in how value can be represented. Traditional tokenization platforms have a privacy problem: by default, they expose everyone's identity and holdings. It turns a ledger of assets into a ledger of surveillance.
But imagine flipping that model entirely. What if, instead of exposing everything and trying to hide parts, you revealed nothing by default? That’s the core of what Citadel is doing with zero knowledge proofs. You can cryptographically prove you’re accredited or in the right jurisdiction for a trade verifying compliance for the network without ever revealing who you are or how much you hold.
It reframes the whole compliance narrative. Regulation doesn’t have to mean total transparency; it can mean verifiable, selective disclosure. You prove what’s necessary and keep everything else private. That’s not just an upgrade it’s a completely different philosophy for building a compliant financial layer.
