You know, I was going to say that I'm so excited that we're finally TGE.
I think unlike most projects, right, you launch the mainnet, your TGE, kind of just get it over with and your baby is out in the public.
I think for us, it's like the baby is there, but no one is able to see it.
And then we're finally able to reveal the baby via this token, which I believe token is not a product.
Token is part of the infrastructure.
I think the TGE itself kind of marks the completeness of Mega as a protocol.
But to answer your question directly, why did we set up these KPIs, right?
And the more often I say the word KPI, the more...
Like a weird feeling I have because they're like just sound so strict, but they're really celebratory milestones instead of KPIs.
The idea was rather simple.
I found it really odd that insiders can just get 60% or 50% of a protocol's token at launch without doing much or metrics to prove that they've done the work.
So from our perspective, it's 2026 and I've been in crypto for eight years.
I think just the old game is not worth playing anymore.
And we want to exercise this philosophy of building public.
have the public monitor exactly what's happening with mega.
And that's why we set the KPI and then basically hold everyone accountable, right?
And it's not just the mega core team.
It's also our applications, right?
We can't launch unless they launch.
And if they want to get traction, they better like integrate and go live on mainnet.
