Hello Square fam.
Today I will talk about Dusk from a completely different perspective regarding TRANSACTION STRUCTURE.
Most blockchains make a decision at the beginning. All transactions will be public, or all will be private.
Dusk-This binary thought breaks.
Dusk-In a transaction, it means not just value transfer.
This is behavior based on context.
The protocol keeps two separate transaction flows—
one where privacy is needed, and another where transparency is needed.
What does this mean?
Not all use cases are the same. In some places, user confidentiality is crucial. In other places, rules, audits, or public visibility are necessary.
It does not force Dusk developers to use only one privacy mode. They can decide what level of disclosure is needed for each interaction.
This is also important from the perspective of developer experience. Because app logic and compliance logic can be separated. Privacy is not a feature added later. Transparency is also not imposed by default.
This separation is useful in the future where users, institutions, and regulators all interact within the same system. Everyone is playing by the same rules, but not everyone has to be exposed in the same way.
This is not a flashy headline. But it is a necessary design decision for building real systems.
