Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

I'm trying to not have to be the person that has to build it.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

But again, at some level, if we're the only one who has the problem, maybe we do have to figure that out.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

So if you want to go build like a layer one, you know, blockchain that can support 100 million transactions per second, you know, call us.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

Because I think that's going to be, that is what is necessary in order for us to help build what is going to be the business model that will be sustainable for the internet in a world of agents.

Bankless

Because as I understand, if we're going to bake stablecoin payments... You're a Cloudflare customer and we turn this on and we say, oh, only these guys over here get it.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

You don't get it.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

Like, I mean, that's just gonna... Like, it doesn't like... Yeah, but don't you have to like fund stablecoin wallets?

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

All of those things can happen very quickly.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

Okay, all right.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

Yeah, I get it.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

We're a fairly substantial public company.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

That's not going to be our limiting factor.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

We're not a startup.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

And so our limiting factor isn't going to be how do we go convince everyone to do it.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

The limiting factor is going to be how do we make sure that when we turn it on, it can actually scale as big as you want.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

And again, that's a high-class problem, but it is a problem that we think about.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

And what the worst case is,

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

is we do it and it starts to scale and it breaks.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

And so that's what we're trying to make sure is that we've, if this takes off the way we think it will, that it can continue to scale up and support that because agent traffic isn't slowing down.

Bankless
Cloudflare Needs 100M TPS from Crypto to Fix the Internet | CEO Matthew Prince

It's going to go just straight up.
