I can provide yield for that.

I think I would say Morpho.
I'm a big fan of the Morpho team.
They've done a really good job.
They've really like zoned in to like their mission.
They've, they've onboarded institutional curators.

We've had a few scares, but you don't have some grow, you don't really get as big as Morpho without some growing pains.
Jamie, do you have another one that maybe you prefer?
That's always a good question when you're trying to build brand because that goes into the trust part of it.
Yeah.
I mean, you know, we had a really long question.
We had this really soul searching issue like a couple of weeks ago, which is like, how well do we lean into this idea of like where the user exists right now and what do they trust right now?
And that's where we...
where we decided that we're connecting to systems that they already trust so they can have this seamless onboarding.
So the idea of you coming into an app like Revolut that you already trust to hold your money, but then Blend gives you a seamless experience that you can take your Revolut account and connect it to Blend and slowly building trust in that seamless way without having barriers is one way we're thinking about it, right?
