Data stays local for the governments as well, et cetera.

So it's kind of really like

plugging in all those pieces together in like a neat model.

But it is using the kind of underlying blockchain as really like this coordination, payments, facilitation system that is neutral, that everybody knows kind of the rules ahead of the game.

And that's where going back to like, hey, we're a centralized company that's going to be benevolent.

It's like, no, we actually have, we're actually an open network where everything is open source and everybody knows the rules of the game.

coming into it, you can also contribute and become a very active participant in this as well.

Yeah, I mean, you know, a 30-second explanation of blockchain, right?

It's that easy.

So maybe just to give a context.

So we started as an AI company.

We were building vibe coding.

And one of the challenges we had was because we didn't have much compute, we were trying to get better data.

So what we did, we went out and got a bunch of computer science students to work with us to give us training data by coding stuff, by describing code, etc.,

And we had challenge paying them.

They were in China, they were in Eastern Europe, you know, Southeast Asia, all the places is kind of lower, like lower income, but also challenges with banking, right?

So in China, students don't actually have bank accounts.

They have WeChat Pay.

I'm from Ukraine.

Right.
