1
Centralization is good
within a permissionless system which provides protection against censorship
2
Minimize friction
everywhere. Move assets across the world in miliseconds at near-zero cost. Connect your app to the network with less than ten lines of code. Easily switch service providers.
3
Maximize competition along all axes
Prove full execution vs economic security vs reputation-based trust. Centralized vs Tendermint-based apps. Solidity vs Python vs Rust. One operator, one app vs one operator, multiple apps. Smart contracts vs intents vs custom programs.
4
Horizontal scaling
Load balancing by adding computers must apply to any network workload, such as transaction processing, consensus, state I/O and data dissemination.
5
Simplicity
An integrated system with few moving parts, unification of users, applications, and assets, easy onboarding for users, applications, and asset issuers.
