Dusk’s Piecrust: Why the "Privacy Tax" is Finally Dead
I remember trying to run a private transaction on Ethereum back in 2022; the gas fees were so high it felt like paying a fine. We accepted that privacy was a luxury product—slow, clunky, and expensive. That narrative ends with Piecrust, the custom Virtual Machine built by Dusk. Unlike general-purpose VMs that struggle with heavy cryptography, Piecrust is purpose-built to crunch Zero-Knowledge proofs efficiently.
Hmmm, think of it like the difference between a generic CPU and a specialized graphics card. One struggles to render a 3D game; the other glides through it. This innovation is trending because it finally makes privacy cheap enough for daily use. Philosophically, if privacy costs extra, it isn't a right; it is a privilege. Piecrust makes it a standard.
Would you like me to create a comparison chart showing the cost difference between a standard Ethereum privacy transaction and a Piecrust transaction?
