## Quote — verbatim

> We saw about close to 29, 30% of \[provider\] liquidity just for our memory, which is fairly high... if you relate to other players in the market — Filecoin has storage, their liquidity is about 0.7%. So to give you comparison, a 30% usage rate is a very \[good\] indication of a very healthy market.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken
