And yeah, we're a team that really, really does what we can to improve everyone.
That's fantastic.
Yeah, go ahead.
Just to put a little more color to that, by 2035, there's projections that an additional 2 billion people will be entering the middle class.
Most of those, a majority of that is not going to be centered around places with mature financial banking infrastructure.
I mean, a million seems like a lot, but when you start to decompose that and distill that to 2 billion to 1 million, $10,000 is something that someone reasonably could have.
So these are things where we consider them lofty now, but in a world with an additional 2 billion people,
In the middle class period, that really is something that we're aiming for.
Yeah, I mean, I was just I was really just wanting to drill into that.
Like today, there's no unified interface for actually getting access and connecting people's real life funds to their real life DeFi.
And what you wind up getting is this system where you're connecting A to B on a different protocol on a different chain.
And you have users trying to like click buttons to figure that out.
And
If you can consider every chain, every protocol to just be another subset of a call that you can make through an API even, because Blend is intent-based.
And what that means is we can support that.
And you can think of like all of the headaches of DeFi.
There just is no unified solution to connect users, like non-crypto users, crypto users who might be curious to these really powerful yield sources.
So in a lot of ways, we've created that financial glue on the programmable money.
And I just think that is something that the market and just people in general have sorely needed.
Yeah, agreed.
