Inter-protocol dependency mapping identifies systemic risks in DeFi by visualizing how protocols interact. For example, a lending platform’s failure could cascade to derivatives markets relying on its price feeds. Graph theory models quantify contagion pathways, showing that networks with >10% cross-protocol exposure face 50% higher failure rates. Tools like DeFi Safety’s risk scores use dependency maps to warn users of vulnerable protocols. Proactive monitoring of these interconnections enables early intervention, preventing cascading collapses in the rapidly evolving DeFi ecosystem.
