But so like you have to skate where the puck is going instead of just thinking this is what the world looks like today.
An interesting one is like which chains to support.
And that's harder because it's almost like
you're almost doing a form of venture investing, but you're not investing capital, although sometimes you do that as well.
You're investing your company's time
and resources.
And so is this a chain that we want to spend a lot of time integrating into our platform or should we just ignore it?
It's just hot right now, but in six months it's going to be dead.
It's hard.
Yeah, you look at a bunch of different factors, right?
Are they well capitalized?
Does the technology make sense?
Do you believe in the team?
Actually, it's very similar things as what you would look at as an investor.
Can it play a role in 2030, 2040, when you imagine what the future of finance is going to look like?
That's kind of what you have to think.
So I'll give some examples like Solana, crushing it.
We actually integrated it in 2022 quite early.
But admittedly, our integration was a little bit bad and slow because it's a chain with lots of activity.
So we had to reintegrate it later.
