Technically, zero-knowledge proofs have historically been slow in computation, with slow generation and verification, which is the biggest bottleneck; from an engineering perspective, building a user-friendly yet secure off-chain storage and authorization mechanism, along with designing an audit channel that cannot be abused, involves not only coding but also repeated discussions with legal teams, making the workload extremely heavy. More critically, at the ecosystem level—regulators, custodial banks, exchanges, auditors—all need to accept this method of “proving compliance without revealing details,” otherwise no matter how advanced the technology is, it remains just an illusion.

But this is precisely where Dusk’s value lies: it is not conducting academic experiments in a lab, nor relying on conceptual hype to cut corners, but gradually turning these cryptographic techniques and engineering solutions into auditable, practical implementations. It transforms “privacy” from a slogan or emotional appeal into an engineering problem that can be solved with technology: what information needs to be hidden, when to reveal it, to whom, and how to prove that the revealed information is legitimate and authentic—all of which can be incorporated into protocols, smart contracts, and daily operational processes.
