I have been thinking a lot about what "proving enough" really means in finance these days. @Dusk is changing how we see that idea. Instead of showing everything, they focus on proving just what needs to be proven nothing more, nothing less.
Traditional systems make you share full details to prove compliance. Dusk uses zero knowledge proofs (ZKPs) so you can prove a transaction is valid, KYC passed, or limits were met without revealing private numbers or names. It's like showing a locked box is full without opening it.
This rethink matters for real finance. Institutions can tokenize bonds or private equity on Dusk while protecting sensitive data. Hedger (Alpha live) applies ZKPs to make EVM transactions confidential yet auditable. Regulators get cryptographic certainty; competitors get nothing.
Dusk's design fits MiCA rules naturally. Native KYC/AML checks and permissioned paths mean compliance is built in, not added later. ZKPs prove "enough" for law without exposing business secrets.
Recent steps show it's working. Mainnet (early 2025) runs Proof of Blind bid, where ZKPs prove staking is fair privately. DuskEVM (mainnet January 2026) lets developers use standard code with ZKP privacy.
Partnerships like NPEX (tokenized over €300 million in assets) prove the approach in real life. Chainlink integrations add secure data feeds, all verified with ZKPs.
DuskTrade (2026 phased launch, waitlist open) will take this further for compliant trading. The Foundation is quietly showing that proving enough can be private, secure, and regulation friendly.
What do you think does proving just enough with ZKPs feel like the future for onchain finance?
Have you looked at Hedger yet?
