In the crypto world, "transparency" is considered an ironclad rule. On-chain verifiability, clear fund flow, and the ability to trace every operation—these features are highly praised, almost as if they embody justice itself.

But who has truly thought about this question: if everything must be exposed to the sunlight, can blockchain handle real-world finance?

Dusk doesn't follow the crowd by telling stories; instead, it approaches this sharp question head-on.

1. Transparency isn't a bad thing, but "full transparency" is too idealistic

Initially, the core goal of blockchain transparency was to eliminate trust issues.

The problem is, when blockchain starts handling real financial transactions, identity verification, and compliant assets, transparency becomes a double-edged sword:
• Which company dares to reveal all transaction details?
• Are individual users willing to have their account records permanently public?
• Does "compliance" mean "everyone can see"? Not necessarily.

The real-world approach is like this:
Verifiable ≠ Must be fully visible

This is what Dusk aims to solve.

2. Dusk is building a new financial language system

Many people lump Dusk into the "privacy chain" category, but that's a shallow understanding.

Seeing it only from the perspective of "hiding" underestimates its ambition.

What Dusk is really doing is solving a difficult problem:
Protecting details from exposure while still meeting compliance, auditing, and verification needs.

This isn't turning off the lights; it's changing the way light is shined.

According to Dusk's approach:
• Transactions can be proven to comply with rules
• Assets can be proven to be genuine
• User identities can be verified without public disclosure
