We invert that.

We, you know, you have the community do all the work.

Our core teams only have like 30, 35 people working on them.

And so we were doing, last time you and I spoke, yeah, we were like just getting out the gate.

Then COVID hit, remote work became the new normal.

The brain trust model became really in demand.

And then fast forward to September of 2021, last year, our token hit the Ethereum mainnet.

Sure.

Yeah.

It just means the brain trust token, BTRST, is now live on the blockchain and can be given to anyone who helps the network.

It can be bought and sold on Coinbase.

It's a live token ecosystem.

It's not a test net anymore.

Yeah, it's totally market driven.

So it's just, you know, total supply and demand dynamics.

When they were minted before the network, when they were IOUs, they had no cash value whatsoever.

um and there you know it's it's a governance token so there's uh there's a few different uses for it but it's one token one vote on the system so all the all the rules of the network like how many what fees should talent and clients pay what should the product roadmap be you know what should we build next those are all sort of determined through token voting so it's a governance token and then a recent protocol upgrade the tokens actually used uh they were the pro the

network requires clients to pay their network fees in the Braintrust token.

So you have the protocol going out and buying its own token.

Well, crypto is really volatile.
