Dusk Network feels like it was built by people who actually watched how finance works instead of arguing about ideals. Real markets do not want everything exposed, but they also cannot operate without records, checks, and oversight. Dusk sits in that uncomfortable middle and stays there. Privacy is treated as a tool, not a disguise. Some things stay hidden, some things must be provable, and the system is built to handle both. Even the recent bridge issue shows where the real challenges are. Not ideas, but operations. Dusk is trying to build something that survives reality, not just whitepapers.
