## Quote — verbatim

> We're working on futures as well — it's still early design — I think opening up, creating a futures market for compute will add efficiency. Futures generally add efficiency to pricing.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Asked if bots will high-frequency trade compute across machines; Greg: "I totally imagine that would be high frequency trading for compute" ([01:06:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xlOVeUXd90&t=3998s)) — Akash as "a decentralized exchange for compute."
