standardization
The process of creating and implementing technical standards to ensure that products or systems from different companies can work together.
Standardization allows for global trade and communication. Without standards, every brand of phone would need a different charger, and websites would look different in every browser. In tech, standards like TCP/IP, HTML, and ERC-20 allow the modern world to function as a unified system.

Imagine if every town had a different sized screw—you'd never be able to build a house! Standardization is making sure that all screws (and all data) fit together perfectly no matter where they were made.
