Dusk's technical approach is indeed very interesting; I feel like I am playing a long game. The combination of zero-knowledge privacy and shared state means that most chains are either fully transparent or completely black box, but they are taking the route of data encryption execution while maintaining composability. What does this mean? Developers can build private yet verifiable DeFi products—such as batch processing orders without exposing transaction intentions at all.

The key issue will be in 2026. Once market testing of fees goes on-chain, the cost of privacy will be laid bare. Are institutions really willing to pay for compliant privacy? This is the moment to test the market.

My understanding is that this is actually redefining what "efficiency" means. It’s not just about pursuing high TPS, but about the net benefits brought by compliant privacy. Compared to scaling solutions like ZK-rollups, Dusk leans more towards infrastructure layer, targeting bank-level application scenarios.

The recent integration of FHE (Fully Homomorphic Encryption) is particularly promising—machine learning can now be performed on encrypted data. Imagine AI fund management that completely keeps strategies confidential; this is very attractive to institutional managers.

If you're interested in this area, you can dig into their GitHub commit history. The activity level is quite high, especially the compression ciphertext optimization in version 0.8, which is very practical. From these details, you can see which direction privacy chains are heading.

The real test will be in 2026. No matter how loud the hype is now, once privacy costs rise, everything will be exposed.

ngl the 2026 fee market test is the actual tell here... all this encrypted execution talk means nothing if institutions balk at the privacy premium lol

Uh, will we see the results by 2026? Will institutions really start to spend money, or is that still a question mark? --- FHE sounds promising, but can the gas costs for encrypted execution really be sustained? --- High GitHub activity ≠ products can be implemented; I have some doubts about this logic. --- Selling compliance and privacy to banks still feels a bit too idealistic, doesn't it? --- So, what is Dusk's current TVL? We've been talking about the tech stack, but where's the data support? --- Interesting, but the ZK narrative has cooled down. Can privacy chains still make a comeback? --- The optimization in version 0.8 is indeed good, but the real question is, are people actually using it?

2026 is really the big test; institutions need to put real money on the line to pay for privacy.

Will 2026 really come? I have my doubts... --- FHE is indeed attractive, but can the cost be brought down? --- Bank-level applications sound great, but will they actually pay for it? --- Compared to TPS, I'm more concerned about who will cover the privacy costs. --- Active commits on GitHub don't necessarily mean the product is running well. Let's wait and see. --- Compliance and privacy... just hearing these words sounds expensive. --- I admit, hiding order intentions is truly impressive. --- Do institutions pay for privacy? Dreaming or real? --- The optimization in version 0.8 sounds good, but is this just marketing or does it have real substance? --- The analogy of playing chess feels so romantic... --- When the privacy costs are laid out clearly, that's when the real test begins. --- AI funds not revealing strategies sounds amazing, but can it really be done?

2026 is really a litmus test; it depends on whether institutions will pay for privacy. --- FHE is indeed quite interesting; AI strategies executed with complete encryption... if it can be truly achieved, it could change the game. --- Just by looking at the active GitHub commits, it feels like they are serious, unlike some projects that only boast without delivering. --- Bank-level application scenarios sound grand, but market lessons tell me not to be too optimistic... wait until the fee model is on-chain. --- The cost issue of compliance and privacy has been pinpointed; this is the key to survival. --- Composable privacy, to some extent, is solving something we've always wanted but no one could manage. --- The appearance of details like compressed ciphertext optimization indicates they are not messing around; there's some rooted foundation. --- The problem is, how many developers truly care about privacy rather than just chasing trends? --- Compared to projects claiming to integrate thousands of chains, Dusk's approach seems much more restrained. --- Version 0.8's optimizations are so detailed, there must be real scenarios driving it.

2026 is really the key year. If the privacy costs are this high, institutions will have to weigh their options.
