> **Visual Note:** I'm not able to identify specific individuals in photos. I can describe that the image features a man with short brown hair, wearing a grey checkered suit and white shirt, holding a microphone while seated, appearing to speak at what looks like a panel discussion or conference event. The image would likely be used to illustrate the accompanying post about Kyle Jenke, Optimism's COO, discussing how perpetual exchanges can differentiate through infrastructure at CONNECT: Seoul.  

> 
> "CONNECT: The next edge for perp exchanges could be built at the infrastructure layer.

“The perp exchanges that have been most successful, they've really differentiated on an infrastructure level,”
