0:00 And the third key abstraction that you're building right now, and you're going to continue to build it, is chain abstraction. So, Beam actually supports base and optimism, and it supports seven stable points. But you never see that. You only see a single balance, and you don't see any networks. So, all of your balances are aggregated into this one single balance, and then we have incredibly complex infrastructure on the back end that intelligently routes what you want to do, And it figures out how to get there without the user having to worry about that. Yeah, I think that's kind of a really, almost kind of an unsung hero in all this in the sense of like, for those of you who have interacted with layer twos on Ethereum for example before, you may try to like send a payment or something through optimism, but then you have to like figure out, or maybe the thing you're trying to get is actually an arbitrage, so you have to like figure out how to go from one to the other.

0:56 or like you're using something on base, but the thing's actually on Zora and you're trying to figure out what to do there, so how you guys have built it where you can have, you know, maybe you have 10 dollars on each.
