## Quote — verbatim

> You have to use different tokens and different signatures and all kinds of things — so imagine trying to automate a solution that spans across these networks, like impossible, right? IBC is going to solve that in an amazing way... the real power is when you're going to solve these friction problems for decentralized cloud adoption. Once you solve that, there's nothing in front of us to actually replace incumbents, like centralized cloud providers, in a unified way.

His "interoperable cloud" vision: Akash compute + Filecoin/Arweave/Sia storage + NuCypher KMS + Handshake DNS composed via IBC into a full cloud stack.
