I predicted we would start seeing the true economic effects of this move from this point (3 months in, early Feb.)

We are about to see whether I was right or wrong

I'm positioned on my thesis

Honestly, this is pretty cool if you think about what it actually means.

Plasma just got plugged into NEAR's intent system. What that means for Plasma: way better reach.
