**Claim.** The architecture is built for a hostile open environment containing malicious anonymous actors, and the authors concede it works even better in a centralized system with identified participants where the blockchain and its inefficiencies are unnecessary.

**Type.** condition  **Support.** asserted

**Holds when.**

- blockchain hosting is justified only by anonymity and hostility of the environment

**Source quote.**

> The architecture for the platform was created to be effective in a hostile open environment containing malicious anonymous actors. It is more effective in a centralized system with identified participants where the blockchain is not necessary and its inefficiencies can be avoided.
