Why Dusk Treats Privacy as Risk Management, Not Secrecy
A common misunderstanding is that privacy chains are about hiding information. In institutional markets, privacy is about reducing risk.
If trade sizes, counterparties, or portfolio movements are visible in real time, markets become easier to game. Front-running, strategy leakage, and predatory behavior increase. Dusk’s privacy tools exist to limit those risks, not to avoid oversight.
What’s important is that Dusk doesn’t remove accountability. It replaces public surveillance with cryptographic proof. The system can still show that rules were followed just without exposing sensitive details to everyone. That’s a very different philosophy from “privacy for privacy’s sake.”
