Hey, hey everyone, we'll give it another minute and let a few other people happen before we get started. Super excited for this one. Thanks for happening everyone. And Juan and Simon, thanks for joining today.
Thanks so much for having us. We're gonna come to be here.
So where are you guys all based?
If you cut on a little bit. These Twitter's ways to upgrade his connections. Yeah, now we're seeing the results.
We don't distribute it and fun is in the US at the moment. What about yourself? I'm in Taiwan right now, but I'm heading back to the US in a few days. Taiwan is just a nice place to skip the winter in the US.
Very cool. Have a good friend of mine that he's from Taiwan and lives there. I will go visit one day. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. Yeah, yeah. So we'll get started. Something's going to happen in a minute here. But something that I think our ecosystem would be, oh, something's here. Let me add them real quick.
Hey, Sonny, how's it going? Good kid. Hello, oh, everyone.

I felt like half of my DeFi summer in Tomb Finance, which is really kind of like foreshadowing for the future, but I just love the theme of it. I should probably ask you guys, you know, can you guys introduce yourselves to our audience, by the way?
Sure, I'm Simone and Chief Mark in the Reserve Phantom. I've been here for working in the Phantom Foundation for more than three years now. However, I guess I was one of the very first community members going Phantom just
So I've been around Phantom since late 2018. So it's been great to really see how the project started and then grow up and then mature and then finally get where we are today.
and I guess we're probably the best shape ever from all fronts. So it's been a very exciting journey. Awesome. Were you just an extremely passionate community member back in 2018 and then you just joined?
