Okay, everybody. Thank you for hanging in there while we deal with some technical issues. We should be good to go for the rest of the conversation. Sorry to cut you off there in the middle of the thought, Arjun. Let's make sure we can hear you okay again.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,#
So we were talking about what's what's metal and like how we different to other networks just just quickly rehash. So metal is an Ethereum L2 network right so as we all know the bit out right
is on Ethereum. We're very Ethereum aligned big fans of Ethereum and you know it just made sense that if you were to start building out an ecosystem we should go with an you know layer to an Ethereum layer to design. Now of course we didn't just want to like fork some technology we wanted to like bring the best
And most exciting, you know, the most up to date technology to developers and projects. So we made a lot of innovations in, you know, sort of baked into this, this network design. So it's so the current test net is an improvement is sort of an iterative improvement on optimistic roll ups. We've done some really interesting things there.
So from the architecture perspective, we've gone with a very modular kind of a design, which is something which even Vitalik has talked about on how we can build scalable sort of blockchain networks. We've been using data availability with eigenlayer, right, although even that technology is very new, but we wanted to sort of, you know,
and dive ahead in and get a sense of how developers would leverage data availability and what kind of new interesting ways and techniques can be get into the network, which how we can make the network faster, more resilient.
And at the same time, you know, reduce fees even further, we've also working on different types of frog proof designs to make security even better and at the same time, you know, we've gone with some interesting other innovations as well, like using multi-party computation with the SS signature scheme to make the bridge even faster. So I would encourage you know,
developers and you have to just sort of like a lot of material and the days to come. So this is the technical side. I think on the ecosystem side, if you look at mantle like already there is a huge ecosystem out there like bit again is one of the biggest towers in the space. We also have a by bit which
which is help see the Dow. We also have Mirano Ventures, the Ventura Ramapai, where we've got all the different bit Dow invested, Dow, which are like game seven, ZK Dow, Edge Dow, there are a bunch of other companies as well as a part of the ecosystem. So already there is a very
I think with mantle we can bring all of this together and so build a lot of value for the bit community and create also interesting value control mechanisms for the bit token as well, which already of course is used for governance, but now will be used as gas fees in the network and will be used as a
We can bring a lot of value here. And also like I said, like our approach towards ecosystem building is also very interesting. We want to go with a more collaborative partnership driven kind of approach. So just to maybe take a couple of minutes and explain how
