0:00.0	Bankless Nation, I'm here with Sri Ram, Kanan, and J.T. Rose from Eigen Layer. J.T.
0:08.2	your first time on Bankless. Welcome. Thank you for having me. And then Sri Ram, good to have you back.
0:12.9	Thank you so much, David. Always a pleasure. Big day in the Eigen universe. Eigen layer is announcing EigenCloud.
