## Every claim under this term

2 claims across 2 works, 2020 to 2021.

**2020**

- [3606663-022](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3606663-022) [design/argued] -- Token design must be treated as an iterative process in which data collection and flexibility in core design parameters are essential, because prior crypto economic assumptions routinely turn out to be suboptimal once the network grows and user preferences change.
  > Data collection and flexibility in core design parameters are essential because prior crypto-economic assumptions often materialize as suboptimal in the light of network growth and changing user and consumer preferences.

**2021**

- [3808859-037](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3808859-037) [predictive/argued] -- 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.
  > 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.
