You will not see shards anywhere. You will not see them in a wallet. You'll not see them explorer apps. Even developers don't know about shards unless you like, you know, inspecting block information you need. Like some low level details. Yeah, like it's pretty like it's pretty hidden by design because we don't want users and developers to think about it. We want to just it works. Yeah. And so similarly, when we, you know, design a model right. You can have lots of keys, different permissions. It you know your account is a normal, you know, human readable string. And like it's pretty much like your like username, like, you know, on Twitter or anywhere else. And you use that to transact and you can add new devices. You don't need to like send private keys, you know, take screenshots of them all the like. So all of that is like, you know, that's the ethos of NEAR from the start.
