So we've got to make sure that we've got the plumbing right in order to support what the future is going to bring.
Crypto size is not size.
That's right.
These aren't going to be like the dollar volumes might be small.
But the transaction volumes are going to be extraordinary.
That's the challenge with us.
Like, that's true for most people.
Like, if you've got to go out there and sell one website at a time, it's fine.
We can take, and again, we say 20%.
The real number is bigger than that.
of the internet and we can turn it on overnight, like the volumes are pretty high.
Again, right now we do about half a billion, 500 million transactions per second at Cloudflare.
Not every one of them is going to be monetizable.
But we think it's between 1% and 10%.
So that's between 5 million and 50 million transactions per second that are monetizable.
There's no blockchain out there today that supports 5 million.
The highest we've seen is 2.
And so if you are out there, if you're listening to this and you support higher than 2, talk to us.
Because that's exactly what we need in order to do it.
And again, I think it's inevitable that it's going to happen.
