Today, let's talk about how developer-friendly the Dusk chain really is.

When it comes to Dusk, many people only know that it caters to privacy compliance needs, but in fact, the experience design for on-chain developers is also quite thoughtful. The design of programmable confidential smart contracts is both unique and straightforward, which is very important.

The most impressive feature is the Dusk Virtual Machine—world's first fully built on zero-knowledge cryptography. What does this mean? Developers can write contracts containing privacy logic directly in high-level languages. Applications like confidential auctions and privacy decentralized exchanges have contract states and execution processes that are inherently encrypted. The clever part is—correctness of contract logic can be publicly verified through zero-knowledge proofs, achieving a balance of "process confidentiality and result trustworthiness."

Because the underlying technology is entirely based on zero-knowledge cryptography, the barrier to entry for developers is actually lowered. They don't need to learn too much additional peripheral knowledge to iterate quickly. With clear user goals and a gradually maturing development ecosystem, from this perspective, the performance of $DUSK in 2026 is indeed worth looking forward to.
