Many people categorize Dusk as a "privacy chain," but in doing so, they actually miss what it is truly trying to accomplish.
I believe a more accurate understanding is—it's like a company building financial infrastructure on the blockchain. A completely different perspective.
The common pitfalls of privacy projects are not in technical difficulty, but in the scenarios themselves being unfeasible. Retail investors don't have a strong obsession with anonymity, and institutions are even less likely to abandon compliance for privacy. Dusk's approach seems to be the opposite: instead of competing over "who's darker," it provides a practical solution that can truly be implemented—verifying necessary data without exposing key information. It can externally demonstrate compliance while internally protecting business secrets. Isn't this what the financial system needs? The logic is complete.
Having worked on on-chain interactions myself, the biggest dilemma is this: either complete transparency—positions, strategies, partners all exposed, like going naked; or total anonymity, which makes it impossible to connect with real-world business. Solutions like Dusk open a middle path—perhaps not the fastest, but if truly paved, it becomes a real business.
That said, the biggest uncertainty remains "who will actually use it." There must be real asset flows on-chain, genuine institutional participation, and application migration willingness; otherwise, no matter how elegant the logic, it’s just self-satisfaction. So I believe DUSK won't be betting on short-term price increases; I care more about whether it can make "verifiable but non-disclosing" a standard feature of products. Only if it truly succeeds can it have the confidence to speak.

Honestly, this logic is much more solid than most "privacy chain" narratives, but the key still depends on whether institutions dare to truly use it.
If you ask me, from the supply and demand curve, the demand for "verifiable without disclosure" definitely exists. The real question is who will be the first to take the plunge—this is the Schrödinger's business opportunity.
Short-term hype is pointless; let's just wait and see if real assets are brought on-chain.

The logic is indeed clear, but what about reality? Will institutions really come, or is this just another self-congratulatory story?

That's correct, the Dusk perspective is indeed easy to overlook, but it still depends on whether institutions are willing to buy in.

Speaking of which, this perspective is indeed different. Financial infrastructure is much more reliable than just focusing on privacy selling points.
