You often hear certain public chains shouting slogans like "complete decentralization" and "absolute transparency," but financial institutions in reality don't think the same way. Their main concern is not to expose everything to the sun, but to ensure privacy protection, precise control over information flow, and the ability to be audited and traced—these three requirements may seem contradictory, but for institutional-grade applications, none can be missing.

Dusk's approach is quite interesting. It doesn't go to the extremes of "full anonymity" or "full transparency," but instead builds an intermediate layer: by default, protecting sensitive business data to prevent arbitrage or market preemptive reactions by competitors, while still being able to disclose information in a trustworthy, verifiable manner during compliance checks or audits. In other words, privacy is not a shield to evade regulation, but a designed and provable capability.

From the blockchain perspective, Dusk regards the certainty of settlement as the top priority. Financial transactions emphasize one word—"certainty"—when is a transaction truly complete? It can't rely on probability or ambiguity. This is especially critical for large transactions, custody, and clearing processes. Imagine if you need to settle a position worth billions on-chain, you definitely wouldn't choose a system whose finality is uncertain.

Moreover, Dusk does not neglect the user experience for developers. Truly robust blockchain infrastructure is not just about impressive technical metrics, but also about inspiring developers to want to use it and have the capability to build on it. These details are often overlooked but determine whether a chain can survive in the long run.
