The thing about these agents to me is that the the value in them is not that it's built on decentralized infrastructure. These agents have a personality, and they may launch a token or a trader portfolio. And that is what is actually attracting a lot of liquidity.
One big area that we're going to continue to focus on is the, explosion of, you know, tokens.

You know, totally globally distributed, and, you know, same thing with with the group of founders that we work with.
