> **Visual Note:** The image is a Dusk-branded diagram titled "SHARE WHAT'S REQUIRED. KEEP THE REST CONFIDENTIAL," illustrating an example access policy in which a transaction flows from a sender through three verification stages—Bank (Payment Instruction), Exchange (Eligibility), and Custodian (Asset Record)—with each party receiving only the data marked "VALID" (amount, eligibility proof, asset settlement) while other financial data remains locked as "NOT DISCLOSED," culminating in a verified transaction.  

> 
> "Banks, exchanges and custodians must verify transactions while protecting customer financial data.

Dusk’s privacy tools support selective disclosure, so each approved party can verify what’s required while the rest stays confidential.

> **Visual Note:** A summary table breaking down DUSK's Aug 19 price action attributes the 11–13% 24-hour drop to profit-taking or thin weekend liquidity, the ~$12.1M trading volume (3–4x normal) to a spot sell-off or derivatives unwind, and characterizes the move following an Aug 15 SME post as likely coincidental rather than causal.  

> 
> "Spent time this week pulling Dusk's numbers because something didn't line up. On Aug 19, DUSK dropped roughly 11–13% in 24h while trading volume jumped to about $12.1M across 208 markets (per live Yahoo Finance/CMC snapshots) that's 3-4x the $2-4M daily volume DUSK was doing on"

> **Video Content:** A screenshot of a "Rabby — silent signature PoC" page demonstrating an attack flow where a victim's wallet is tricked into signing without explicit approval by exploiting the lock→unlock transition, with numbered steps showing how a malicious dApp can silently reconnect and obtain an unlimited USDC allowance (Permit2 PermitSingle). The post highlights this as a horrifying vulnerability, notes that Dusk wallets avoided the issue by keeping unlocking and approval as separate request-bound actions, and mentions a defense-in-depth change to cancel outstanding approvals on lock.  

> 
> "Absolutely horrifying bug. 

We inspected the Dusk wallets for this exact failure mode and did not find it. Unlocking and approval are separate, request-bound actions.

We still prepared a defense-in-depth change that cancels outstanding approvals whenever the wallet locks."

I used to think an RWA-focused Layer 1 just needed speed, low fees, and solid tokenization.

Then I looked deeper into Dusk and realized the problem is much bigger.

@DuskFoundation
 

但我觉得分析一个项目，不能只看它拥有多少热门关键词。

隐私、RWA、EVM、零知识证明，这些标签确实吸引注意力。

但真正决定长期价值的是：

这些技术有没有形成商业闭环。

从产品设计来看，Dusk 的路线比较完整。"
