So I think kind of how we operate, Genius, while it feels like an exchange, we're not technically an exchange. And so, as I mentioned, there's all these blockchains, there's liquidity on all of them. We basically orchestrate liquidity across all of these chains to make it easy for everyone else to use. So there's a bunch of complex BS that goes on in the background.
And so there's like kind of two components to Genius. There's Shuttle Labs Incorporated, which is what I'm the co-founder of. And that's a Delaware C Corp. And basically we manage and develop the front end. Genius, Genius Protocol is, which is basically the orchestration of everything is managed and owned and operated by Dow based in the Cayman Islands.

And that's basically like this permissionless thing where anyone in the world can go build things on top of genius bridge protocol. Um, and they could, they could build genius. Like they could build like what we've built on top of these open systems. Um, and that's, and that's something that's really cool.

And I'm excited about like the same way that like people built the infrastructure for people to build all these payment infrastructure in the United States. Right. Uh, how, you know, you use square to buy things. Uh, we've built basically the rails, uh, for anyone to do a similar thing in crypto, which is really cool. Um, and we've also built like the car as well.

but regulation is super interesting right like sexes have to have different licensing but the way that we've built uh everything to this point we've been able to do so in a way where we don't have to where yeah we've been creative legally such that like we we aren't an exchange per se like we're not like a licensed exchange because like we're like we said we're not custody because custodying any assets we're basically just helping you buy those things through orchestration so

It's just fun. I'm super blessed to be able to have fun doing what I do. And I think I have a lot of people in my life that don't have fun doing what they do. And so I think generally it's one of those things where... I love to build things that people like to use. I think genius is one of those things like we have thousands of people that use it every day. And I think that's amazing.

Like I'm blessed for people to use things that I've built. Like I mentioned to you earlier, like we have a Figma plugin.
