We all know a problem: on mainstream public blockchains like Ethereum, every address's transaction history and fund flow are clearly laid out in the sunlight. Imagine your every transaction, account balance, and transaction frequency being visible to everyone online—that's uncomfortable for anyone.

For those who truly need privacy for large transactions and institutional users, this transparency is like living in a glass house with no privacy at all. No one would make large fund transfers under public scrutiny.

So, can we just solve this with a black box? Early projects like Monero have tried to hide all information absolutely. But here’s the problem—how can regulators verify the legality of transactions? The entire system becomes an opaque black box, which makes it even easier to question.

This is the core contradiction Dusk aims to solve. Zero-knowledge proof technology allows you to prove "I know a secret" without revealing the secret itself. To put it plainly: you can prove you have enough funds to complete a transaction without exposing your specific balance; you can prove you've passed KYC verification without disclosing personal information.

The cleverness of this approach lies in—meeting privacy needs while providing regulators with enough compliant information. In the future regulated financial world, this balance point will become a necessity. Dusk positions itself uniquely in the privacy public chain field by making this technology its core competitive advantage.
