Think about the most private parts of life: your income, your savings, the payments you make when you’re supporting family, or trying to build something from nothing. Now imagine that being permanently visible to strangers. That’s what a fully public blockchain can feel like — not always, but enough that it makes you pause.
Dusk is the kind of project that makes me breathe a little slower, because it’s built around a simple idea: privacy should not be a luxury feature. It should be part of the foundation, especially if crypto wants to enter the world of regulated finance and tokenized real-world assets. Because that world is strict, serious, and unforgiving. You can’t just say “trust us.” You need systems that respect confidentiality, while still giving the right kind of proofs when it’s required.
We’re seeing crypto mature in stages. First came speculation. Then came builders. Next comes real integration with finance, and that’s where Dusk wants to live — not as noise, but as infrastructure.
