Privacy public chain technology stacks up one after another, but why do users ultimately leave? Honestly, it all comes down to one thing—an attractive white paper can't fix a poor wallet experience.
Projects like Dusk, based on privacy assets and notes mechanisms, can only survive if the wallet interaction is well-designed. No matter how beautiful the paper is, it’s useless if: Is creating an account complicated with backup procedures? Can users clearly see fees and confirmation times when transferring? When initiating a privacy transfer, is it a one-time success or repeated failures? If it fails, can they understand why?
The most painful issue is compliance. When you need to present verifiable proof to institutions or auditors, you should generate it with one click, not make users tinker in the command line until midnight. This may seem small, but it directly impacts institutional users' decision-making.
Here's a straightforward evaluation standard: Can a complete novice who has never touched this platform set up a process in 10 minutes—"create wallet → receive or transfer assets → view balance change → initiate another interaction"—without any pitfalls? If yes, $DUSK can upgrade from a niche technical chain to real infrastructure; if not, even the most advanced privacy solutions are just geek toys.

Really, the ten-minute testing method is excellent, this is the real bottleneck. The white paper sounds fancy, but poor user experience can ruin the entire project.

honestly, this hits different... technically speaking, if you look at the data on failed privacy chains, the wallet UX correlation is basically off the charts. most projects ship beautiful tokenomics on paper but then users hit reality—and yeah, that 10-minute onboarding test? that's actually the real risk-adjusted metric nobody talks about. $DUSK survives or dies on execution, not whitepapers fr

No matter how fancy the white paper is, it’s useless. Truly. If the product experience doesn’t pass, everything else is pointless.

Honestly, no matter how awesome the white paper is, it has to be usable.
These 10-minute beginner test standards are amazing—hit the mark instantly, but in reality, most privacy chains can't even last 5 minutes.

You're right, wallet experience is the critical factor. I have discouraged several friends because of Dusk's complicated backup process, and now they all use Monero.

Getting stuck on wallet experience really hits the mark; no matter how fancy the white paper is, it’s useless.
