And so if you wanted to break into and Blend had hundreds of thousands of small little cookie jars, which is all the user's monies, you would have to break into hundreds of thousands of all these individual cookie jars.

from safety to helping you yield in your own currency and how do we mix all together so the user gets this like seamless experience that like us in North America or in the Western world have kind of enjoyed this and the rest of the world is really craving to join this like financial

I think we think about it in like, you know, Blend, it's a protocol first, so it has multiple entry routes to it.

So the first customer that we're actually maximizing for is like the everyday user we want.

the everyday user that should have get access to like savings primitives.

So that gives like Blend hopefully an AUM of somewhere around the $10 billion range.

And we think that's like

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

something very doable, something thing that maybe you picked up on, but like we don't shy away about building this seamless, what we call web 2.5 experience, which why we coined it this way is that Jamie said that the thing for Euro is that we're actually going to integrate Revolut.

Web3 with Sam Kamani
347: How Blend.money is Building the Global Savings Layer for DeFi with guest speakers Manny and Jamie

A lot of people are scared to integrate some of these big apps and say, oh, you're going to be, you're going to be taken away by them.
