Most blockchains treat privacy (via ZKPs) as an application-layer feature. Dusk embeds it at the consensus layer. Participants (Provers) must generate Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge (zk-SNARKs) to validate the correctness of the block's transactions without revealing any details. This proof, called the Submission Key, is mandatory for consensus progression. Therefore, privacy and verification are not optional; they are the very mechanism by which the network agrees on state. This forces all nodes to participate in a cryptographically guaranteed, trustless verification process.
