Within the public blockchain community, transparency is considered a key element of trust. If you can see all transactions, you can trust them. But that’s not how institutional finance works.
For banks, asset managers, and regulated entities, trust is not built on disclosure. It’s built on controlled disclosure, accountability, and verifiable processes. Full transparency exposes strategy, client data, and operational structures, which can lead to significant risk.
This is why most institutions haven’t moved beyond the pilot phase of blockchain. Public blockchains aren’t designed for institutional risk models.
The Dusk Foundation redefines trust from an institutional perspective. Transactions can be kept private using confidential smart contracts and cryptographic proofs of compliance can be used to prove compliance with rules. This allows regulators and auditors to inspect sensitive data without having to see it.
