## Quote — verbatim

> Ideally you want to be able to pay for compute — staking is one thing, but actually paying for compute using Ethereum or an ERC-20 token, that means any stable currency... is the ideal scenario that we are all going to \[want\]. We're going to do this in multiple stages: first we're going to do a wrapped bridge that will eventually become a lot \[more\] native.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Closing answer on the Peggy/Ethereum bridge and Uniswap listing plans Jack described; multi-token payment later became a shipped Akash feature.
