# kaal:claim:3808859-036

**Claim.** Cloud computing is the enabling substrate for decentralized solutions rather than their competitor, because it has already established that applications can talk to each other, an integration that decentralized networks will extend.

**Type.** mechanism  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- requires applications to integrate regardless of technological and physical environment

**Source quote.**

> Cloud computing enables future decentralized solutions because it already allows applications to talk to each other.
