You've got to then have a stablecoin infrastructure which sits behind that, or more than one, ideally, that can actually handle the volumes that are going to be out there.
And again, I think those volumes are beyond what anyone is anticipating.
Yeah, I mean, I think we went into this thinking that we were going to build sort of a layer two stablecoin that would live on more than one different kind of layer one chains that were out there.
And again, we've talked to every one of the people that you just mentioned, and they're all really smart.
They've done amazing things.
What I think is hard for people to comprehend is just the volumes that the internet really looks like.
And so that's where we kind of come in and go, that's awesome, but you've got to be able to support two or three orders of magnitude more than what you're talking about today.
So we are still looking for that.
I think the question for us has been,
Do we wait until we figure out exactly what's the right long-term solution before we launch that?
Or do we sort of try and cobble together something that'll hold up now and in the background kind of create what that future is?
And again, whether it's us creating it or whether it's one of those companies, there are a bunch of startups that are doing really interesting things as well.
Like, if you're out there and you're working on this problem and you're not talking to us already, you should be because we can give you that incredible distribution.
We have no pride of ownership here.
And what we want is to live up to our mission, which is help build a better internet.
And that means, you know, yeah, we're going to support everything which works out there.
But the volumes and scale are so enormous.
that again, I think a lot of what, again, a lot of the companies that you mentioned have incredible purposes for what they're doing, but nobody is doing the volumes that we potentially can help facilitate.
And again, it won't just be us.
I think done correctly, this goes across the entire internet and the volumes could be just extraordinary.
