Dusk Network exists because finance does not work in public. At least, not the parts that matter. Institutions need privacy, but they also need to prove they followed the rules. Dusk Network was built around that tension instead of pretending it isn’t there.
Transactions can stay private without disappearing from oversight. Settlement is designed to be fast and final, because uncertainty is expensive. This kind of system is harder to build and slower to adopt. Mistakes carry more weight. But as blockchains move beyond experiments, designs like this start to feel less optional and more necessary.
