And then even, you know, for for individual trades or transactions, whatever additional conditions or criteria you want to bring in as well.

So essentially all of the assurances you would have from more traditional systems can be implemented through smart contracts, which are automated and are intelligent as the name suggests.

And essentially

Can work in those same ways.

So you you need to do your due diligence as always, but even with those decentralized and disintermediated systems, smart contracts can essentially bring all of the assurance you need.

to what you're doing.

No.

Certainly not.

Um so uh essentially it it it depends on the systems that you're talking about.

It depends on the markets.

So if you're operating within a particular market and it's regulated, well then whatever smart contracts, whatever uh mm mechanisms and vehicles you're using, the

regulation will apply.

So the uh say for example in in Europe, the markets in crypto assets uh regulation, uh my car, um, and then the regulated entities underneath it, the crypto asset service providers, everything that they do, like all of their uh business models, uh everything about that.

has to be communicated in their process with the uh the Central Bank of Ireland, say in in our jurisdiction, to achieve the certification, the authorization to trade in and provide crypto asset services.

So essentially all of that gets implemented in whatever the business model is and however they leverage any of the technologies and particularly blockchains.

Absolutely.

But what what what it's also doing though is and uh a as we highlighted with the the the uh the commodities example.

It's also enabling different ways of doing business because of the certainty and the assurance that it provides.

So one of the other applications uh in this is in supply chains and logistics.

So uh uh assurance uh for things like ingredients.
