Selective Disclosure: Dusk's Regulatory Edge in Privacy-Preserving Oversight
I’ve always found it frustrating how most blockchains treat privacy as an on or off switch. Either everything is exposed, or everything disappears from view, and neither option works well once regulation enters the picture.
I tend to think of Dusk more like a vault with adjustable windows. You don’t throw the door wide open just to prove something. You decide exactly what someone can see, and nothing more.
Under the hood, it uses zero-knowledge proofs so transactions stay private by default. When compliance is required, selective disclosure lets specific details be revealed to the right parties, without dragging the entire transaction into the open. The rest stays protected.
That’s why it feels like infrastructure rather than a privacy experiment. It’s meant to be a base layer for builders working on financial products that have to survive regulation, choosing practicality over ideological secrecy.
The $DUSK token plays a simple role. It’s used for transaction fees, staking to help secure the network, and voting on protocol changes. No extra narratives attached.
I’m not convinced this approach will satisfy every regulator out there, but it’s a more realistic path than pretending the rules don’t exist.
