Everyone is kind of a little tired about the gambling and trading apps.

They just kind of want a boring, safe, reliable thing so they can live their life.

If we can bring that kind of joy to a million users, it kind of sounds sappy, but I think then we've kind of hit our North Star.

I'll give it like a two-parter.

Part one is like,

this is kind of an odd thing to say in crypto, but like, cause we don't really think about it, but we think about user experience and we think about like building experiences.

So we wanna build like web experiences that feel native to your like economy and your user base.

So like you nailed it when you said like,

some people are like using banking via like whatsapp or via like texting and like other things and so like this means like building like localized to each economy and so that's where that's why we're very very intentional so brazilian we want to like integrate like their system called like pics making sure that all fits with all their product whatever that is in for singapore europe we know that they're heavily dominated in revolut and we're not shying around an integration with revolut and like

So that's where I think that's going to be the interesting challenge.

And we're really keen to solve that problem.

And I think we're going to do a good job because we've already seen that we've taken the step of like crypto wallet is out of the product.

And then that's kind of the goal.

The other thing is like, and we've, we're solving it via our technology stack.

Which is, we can't not talk about this topic because it's kind of the truth, which is most of the DeFi liquidity lives in deep USD dollar denominations, right?

And so that is still a problem to solve and Blend is solving it in two parts.

One part is we've created a system and since we do everything in your own personal Gnosis Safe, we can call them as like, you know, singly managed accounts.

We can put these like 5% notional hedges on.

So even though that the DeFi market is in USD, DeFi, we can make like a notional hedge that will act

like your home currency.
