# kaal:claim:3808859-037

**Claim.** Future peer-to-peer networks will thrive on dissimilarity rather than redundancy: nodes contributing dissimilar resources and capabilities let the network perform tasks no individual peer could perform, and making those capabilities available to all nodes attracts further nodes.

**Type.** predictive  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- contrasted with current nodes that share resources while doing rather similar tasks

**Source quote.**

> future peer-to-peer computing networks will thrive by adding nodes to the network that contribute dissimilar resources and capabilities to the decentralized community of nodes.
