They really have many, many opponents, from Avalanche to Solana to an entire bunch of others. And so you have got a state of affairs the place the provision – as a result of it’s an earned proof-of-stake mannequin – is rising and but transactions are simply form of regular.
So there’s just a little little bit of imbalance, however I’m very constructive that over time it’s nonetheless in a pull place and has an opportunity to permit others to get into the area.”
