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.
Yeah, the US dollarization of economies at scale is definitely something that I think has inertia now.
But you're totally right.
At the end of the day, there's economics, but there's also politics.
And people don't want to see their economies effectively become overwritten by different currencies and markets that don't necessarily have that currency at heart, that economy at the core of what their decisions are.
And so the reason why I think this concept is so powerful is many had mentioned and going back to the very beginning, many had mentioned this idea of these synthetic hedges.
And what that really is doing is it's kind of stemming the tide between where we are and where we want to be.
If we want to be in a world with denominated and global stablecoins, and we currently live in a world with USD, how do we kind of get there?
