And everyone participating in the prediction markets above them trust that they're pure.

Yeah.

And the CFTC and prediction market platforms and the MLB are like, we're going to do everything that we can to create the largest, most high integrity markets around these things.

It's basically going to be Stripe's payments chain.

It's focused on very high throughput, very low fee, dedicated stablecoin payments.

As it turns out, you were telling me this, Ryan, Tempo, the chain, the construction of the chain, has a fast lane for stablecoins specifically.

You have a separate, if you're like a DeFi app, like somebody can take Aave and put it on Tempo, that'll be in one lane, but it'll be separate from the fast lane for stablecoin payments.

Yeah, that's right.

Stablecoin payments will have like this first class right of a fast lane on Tempo.

And it's another X402.

Apparently, it also plays nicely with X402, but nonetheless is a different standard.

And so there is some collab or competition tension between these two things.

There's not the only one.
