I mean, at this point, it's not like they're public, right? It's like anything in DeFi. Like, yeah, if you know the wallets, address, but, um, that requires, you know, uh, doxing. And obviously you just see the number, the quantities, you don't know what, you know, what the person is buying or where or anything like that. So, uh, so there's, you know, there's a level of privacy, but we want to take it, uh, you know, uh, to a next level where, where everything is, uh, is private by, by default.
