Imagine a global financial highway where certain lanes are transparent for public audit, and others are fully confidential for private settlement. This is the elegant, modular architecture of Dusk. @dusk_foundation has designed two parallel transaction models on the same chain. Moonlight is a transparent, account-based model perfect for functions where public verification is key (e.g., governance voting, public token rewards). Phoenix is a confidential, UTXO-based model secured by ZKPs, designed for private trading and settlements. This dual-layer approach means a single blockchain can seamlessly host a public DEX, a private securities market, and a compliant CBDC pilot simultaneously. This flexibility isn't a patch; it's a fundamental architectural choice that makes Dusk uniquely equipped for the nuanced needs of global, regulated finance.
Thought Experiment: What kind of revolutionary dApp could you build that leverages both a public and a private transaction layer on the same chain?
