I used to think that blockchain was just a synonym for cryptocurrency speculation, but I later realized I was being too one-sided.

The ultimate goal of blockchain should be to integrate into our lives and make everything more convenient. It’s not technology existing for its own sake, but to solve real-world pain points.

Take Dusk Network as an example. It doesn’t engage in hype or flashy packaging. The core reason for building this project is that a true financial system requires privacy protection.

Think about your daily scenarios: withdrawing cash from an ATM or transferring money to a friend, people around you can’t see your balance. This is normal and necessary. But most transactions on blockchain are transparent, anyone can check. This might be acceptable for experimental projects, but it’s not suitable for real financial operations.

Dusk’s solution is straightforward—allow transactions to occur on-chain while hiding sensitive details. The system can still verify whether rules are followed without exposing data. This is the approach of the professional team.

The ATM logic illustrates the point: the machine completes all verification checks, but bystanders see nothing. Dusk applies this logic to the blockchain. Because of this, it’s especially suitable for handling bonds, stocks, and regulated assets.

Don’t interpret this as aiming to overthrow banks. In fact, Dusk is providing a more elegant infrastructure for the financial system.
