We spent nearly a year selecting the right platform, and ultimately decided to build the entire system on Dusk. This decision may seem simple, but in reality, it involved avoiding many pitfalls.

The issue is this: when creating a private asset management platform for high-net-worth families, transparency and security are at odds. Traditional public blockchains allow everything to be visible—transaction records, asset allocations—all exposed to the sunlight—which is completely unacceptable to our clients. But truly private coins are too closed off, making it impossible to generate audit reports or regulatory statements. Both options hit a dead end.

Until we discovered a possibility: Dusk’s chain can protect privacy without sacrificing auditability. This is the real breakthrough.

Our final design is as follows—each family client has an independent, private asset pool on the chain. Family members can view their own portion; external auditors, with an authorized key, can verify the overall health of the assets; but competitors, media, and any public observers cannot see transaction details. All these features are directly implemented through Dusk’s smart contracts and privacy modules, not just compromises.

The Dusk team provided tremendous support during the early ecosystem development. They not only offered technical guidance but also took the time to teach us how to map traditional financial legal frameworks onto the blockchain. This "technology + finance" dual support is invaluable for startups.

Honestly, security is the key to whether projects like ours can survive. Dusk’s consensus mechanism and cryptographic solutions have been tested multiple times by top auditing firms, giving us the trust that our first institutional clients truly need—not just marketing buzzwords, but solid technical backing.

While the ecosystem isn’t as large as some loudly promoted public chains, every project within it is solving a real, specific problem. This makes me feel that the community’s quality is even higher.
