The privacy sector has indeed gained significant attention recently. DUSK surged to around 0.11 this morning, echoing the recent upward trend of privacy projects over the past few weeks. The market enthusiasm is quite high, with various discussions emerging constantly, and overall market attention has been quite focused.

However, it’s important to clarify that the cyclical nature of these projects is quite evident. They tend to rise quickly and fall just as fast, and opportunities to recover from dips are not hard to find—key is to understand the project's inherent value proposition.

DUSK Network is essentially a privacy public chain, positioned as a privacy blockchain for financial applications. As a layer-one chain, it supports confidential secure contract (XSC) standards and privacy smart contract execution. The project’s architecture is designed around the needs of the financial market: emphasizing scalable public infrastructure, deterministic guarantees for transaction settlement, and strict data confidentiality.

From the perspective of the privacy chain sector, Dusk Network is focused on financial privacy. Unlike pure privacy coins, it embeds privacy capabilities into the smart contract layer. This means users can protect transaction privacy while executing complex financial logic—an attractive feature for institutional-level applications.

Of course, even a good project depends on market sentiment. Currently, privacy assets are performing in turn, and in the short term, we can see rapid capital flow within this sector. But whether it can sustain long-term stability depends on technological iterations and real progress in ecosystem applications. Pure price fluctuations are often not stable enough; genuine user demand and on-chain activity are necessary to support it.
