But when I am in Tel Aviv and I am in their offices, and I meet these Israelis, and I'm in their meeting rooms, you know, like how many partners they have contributing to StartNet, like how many different...so, in the StartNet Foundation, I'm on the Developer Committee, so I see every other company that we make a partnership with and outline the milestones for them, for which things that they are supposed to work on. And we're talking about indexers, we're talking about market makers, we're talking about APIs, we're talking about oracles, we're talking about things like Alchemy, Infura, just the how, you know, extremely ambitious they have been in combining an ecosystem of services together, thinking about the whole flow. And, you know, it also goes to events and finding, you know, talent. Like doing things like hackathons, like they are extremely ambitious people.

They are, like, in my opinion, one of the strongest forces to be reckoned with if I think about any layer and how much work they are doing to make sure that this platform has a reason to become successful. I mean, I guess what hasn't really happened yet is that because of the Cairo thing, they haven't had natural adoption. And there haven't been, like, airdrop farmers running around. There haven't really been a lot of applications because of the Cairo thing, so I think it's something that is going to explode as soon as they get Cairo I.e out. So I am way more bullish. I am way more bullish on this thing than I ever expected. Like, I went there expecting to be like, you know, I'm expecting this to wither out and not become anything, but I'll be there and I'll be helpful to try to make sure that they make better decisions, but it hasn't been like that at all. Now they changed my mind. They made me bullish on the entire thing.
