Dusk and the Hard Work of Privacy That Auditors Can Sign
Tokenized funds and RWAs are moving onchain while regulators demand traceable flows. The break happens when a trade must stay confidential but still produce evidence a supervisor can use in a dispute.
Dusk treats that break as protocol work. Privacy is not a UI toggle, it is a transaction rule set that defines what can be proven, to whom, and under what authority. Auditability is a design constraint, not an afterthought.
Its modular design supports a split between what must remain legible and what must remain hidden. Public issuance and settlement can stay readable, while private execution can hide amounts and counterparties and still export a proof or disclosure package. That tends to push view keys, access roles, and disclosure semantics into the base layer.
There are costs. Key custody and permissioning become obligations, metadata leakage has to be contained, and proofs add latency where users expect instant finality. Adoption means owning the compliance plumbing.
If Dusk keeps making selective disclosure a first-class artifact, privacy stops being a promise and becomes infrastructure that regulated finance can sign.
