00:00Aidan, what are your views in terms of selecting CDK as the stack of choice for launching your
00:08Aleph chain? Yeah, there's definitely, I think there's a few reasons. I think one of the bigger
00:15ones is we've been working with Polygon from pretty much day one. And, you know, actually we
00:20would, aside from, you know, within our ecosystem, we actually run a two Polygon validator of the
00:28105. So we have kind of that natural tendency to look a lot more at the Polygon tech. When
00:35we look at all the technology over the past, I would say, three years, we have worked with
00:40pretty much all other chains that came out, like Avalanche, MultiverseX, Sway, Solana, so
00:47pretty much across the ecosystem. First of all, I think EBM compatibility was still very, very
00:53important because I think even POS wasn't 100% compatible. So when the Polygon team
00:58came out to do, you know, ZKEBM that was 100% compatible to Ethereum. So I think that was
01:03a major choice. I think even ZK Sync was not 100% compatible to ZKEBM. So for the benefit
01:09of the doubt, because it's not everyone fully understand all the nuances, but to guarantee
01:13everything is just going to work, then, you know, the best choice for all the program is
01:18just, well, it's, you know, 100% CK, you know, EBM compatible. So that was one major reason
01:24for that. So both, I would say technical reason, but also kind of because we've been working very
01:29closely with some Polygon team and just that, you know, across either validation network, we
01:34know they have an excellent team, have their ability to execute, excellent leadership. So it's a
01:39combination of factors. But of course, one other thing is, because we're hearing, you know,
01:43all these other chains adopting the CDK, right? I think Immutable X is on it, you know, Avogadji
01:49is on it, I think Nier is on it. So just like, you know, you kind of want to be on the bandwagon,
01:54especially about the Agri layer, which will help with the native interoperability. So I think
01:59that's going to be a very, very critical part for us.
