**Claim.** Decentralized technology systems require interoperability for survivability, yet most platforms attempt to go it alone in an effort to become the next Bitcoin, so decentralized community silos proliferate and the required infrastructure, which no single protocol can build, does not get built.

**Type.** condition  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- decentralized protocol ecosystems in the early 2020s
