Many people discuss privacy chains and ask, "What can the technology do?" but I want to approach it from a different angle: does a privacy project dare to truly face regulatory discussions?
Honestly, this is the real test of a project's vitality. The scarcity of Dusk doesn't lie in the technology itself but in its positioning—placing itself in a vulnerable spot that requires balancing privacy protection, compliance requirements, and handling regulated assets. Most projects in the circle are afraid to take this path because once you go down this road, all issues immediately become tough nuts to crack: you can't be vague, you can't rely on public opinion hype, and you can't use "decentralization" as a shield.
My genuine feeling is that if a project only discusses compliance within the crypto community and uses crypto-specific language to explain, it will be impossible to gain trust in the real world. The real world doesn't believe in narratives; it only asks: how exactly is the process implemented? How are responsibility boundaries defined? Who takes responsibility if something goes wrong? Can the data be audited? Will privacy become an excuse for regulatory loopholes?
Dusk's strategy is to define privacy as "the ability to be explained," rather than "a black box of forbidden zones." This may sound abstract, but within a regulatory framework, it becomes very clear—privacy should serve market fairness and the protection of trade secrets, not become a tool to evade regulation.
This is crucial because privacy chains are most easily misunderstood and most vulnerable to blanket regulation. To survive long-term, the design must be built into the technical architecture: protecting transaction details while being able to produce verifiable compliance proofs when necessary. This is the true competitive advantage of privacy chains.

You're right, projects that focus only on technology without regulatory compliance will eventually fail.
Compliance is indeed a hard skill, not just marketing talk.
I’m not very optimistic about projects that are afraid to face regulation.

I'm convinced by this logic; there are very few projects that dare to directly confront regulation head-on.
Wait, Dusk's explainable privacy framework... sounds like someone finally figured this out.
Most projects are still self-indulgent in the crypto circle, unaware that the real world doesn't buy into this kind of narrative.
Getting through cycles relies on this kind of clarity; projects that survive long-term understand this principle.
To put it simply, the future of privacy chains depends on who truly dares to accept the test of regulation.

Basically, it's about whether you're willing to take a hit; most projects are just pretending to be asleep.

There's nothing wrong with that, but most privacy chain projects simply don't dare to do this.
Wait, can Dusk really handle regulation? I always feel like it's just fooling ourselves.
Compromise is compromise; don't romanticize it as explainable privacy. When the government comes knocking, it's still going to throw a fit.
All projects in the crypto world claiming compliance are a joke; the real world has already taken notice.
This idea is correct, but will it last until that day? I doubt it.

Hey, your perspective is pretty good. Projects that dare to directly confront regulation are indeed rare.
