Composability
Composability is the ability of different software components to be combined or rearranged to create new, unique applications. In the context of finance, it means that decentralized protocols can talk to each other without needing permission from a central authority.
When a developer builds a new tool, they can use existing liquidity or price feeds from other protocols to enhance their own functionality. This creates a network effect where the value of the entire ecosystem grows as more building blocks are added.
It is similar to how internet protocols allow different websites to share data seamlessly.
