But I want to start out, can you give us a little bit of an overview of what you guys have been building?

Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

So Aurora Labs has actually been around since 2021, one of the kind of more active projects, I would say, within the near ecosystem.

And one of the things we realized early last year, because of course we'd launched virtual chains before we moved into Intents, was that even when projects had their own kind of networks, their own L2s, there was still this huge barrier when it came to bringing assets into that environment.

And then, of course, Near Intents itself was born.

And it's funny that you say, it sounds quite weird when you say it out loud, right, that you're using Near to swap Zcash.

Largely, that was a similar sentiment very early on at the start.

I think this is something that, like, I genuinely don't know what happened, but I've been meaning to, like, get up to speed, so.

it's interesting thing i find that this limerick team like they seem so hungry again this year and you you and while you were there you know five all irelands but you were so hungry for it and you know and then you know i suppose maybe it's been thrown a tip a little bit this year like going did they have the hunger but you managed to keep that going

yeah um We did.

I suppose, as I said earlier on, it doesn't really matter what you've won.

It's all about Sunday.

What happened last year or over the past five, six years is kind of irrelevant.

That's what it comes down to.

I suppose then there's an internal motivation in players as well that they want to get better every year and they want to improve and they want to win because it doesn't last forever.

and what kind of leader were you then like were you like were you much of a talker would you have done speeches in the in the the room changing room beforehand or
