Thank you. I'm really excited to be on stage here with you. You're-</p><p>Brendan (00:15):</p><p>Same, [crosstalk 00:00:17].</p><p>Anatoly (00:16):</p><p>... One of my heroes. As a programmer, JavaScript is a language that really revolutionized how we do application development, how we build. It's the foundation of the web. And I often think of web 3.0 really just being the web, just part of the bigger web.</p><p>Brendan (00:34):</p><p>Yeah, me too. That's how the web grows, by evolution. So we think the web 3.0 browser should be the gateway to a billion crypto users. And we are therefore integrating Solana into Brave soon as we can. And here's the cool thing, this is an evolutionary path. We're going to make it so any dapp that is Solana enabled, wherever other chains, EVM compatible or Ethereum, whatever it supports, if it supports Solana as well, we'll make it use Solana by default. So dapp builders who build for Solana as well as other chains. In Brave it's going to use Solana. And that's going to just help, I think, pull all the dapps on the Solana.</p><p>Anatoly (01:24):</p><p>Super exciting.</p><p>Brendan (01:25):</p><p>You like?</p><p>Anatoly (01:25):</p><p>Yeah, it's wonderful.
