Coordination: Blockchains should be used for coordination between actors but not for computation or storage. The less smart contracts are used, the better. The dumber smart contracts are, the better.

Comedy of the commons: The utility of the app should grow with the numbers of providers and users on the platform without running into any technical hard limits or saturation or limits on the number of actors and participants. https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Comedy_of_the_Commons

Decentralization: The app should not rely on the existence or fitness of any one entity. Users should not be locked into any single interface or actor. My own organization should only stay in business as long as it is the best at what it does for the ecosystem.

Composition: Attestations are great for coordinating on an open ecosystem. Blockchain attestations, e.g. using Sign Protocol, should be used to build chains of trust and composing results and business processes between different providers.
