Thanks for the submission!

Follow up question, have you seen evidence that BNS users are looking to use SEAM as a form of payment?

Hi @daryl, currently, users aren’t aware that we are going to enable the $SEAM token. Because of this, we haven’t seen any evidence yet. However, last week, we enabled the $DEGEN token. Following that, users heard the announcement and began registering names with $DEGEN, including Jacek (Founder of Degen), who got his name with $DEGEN after the integration.

No I haven’t received any other funding for any other project.
