Assess chain dependence by checking whether core contracts, tooling, and token utility are tightly coupled to one chain. Single-chain reliance risks vendor/bridge failures, chain congestion, or regulatory blockages on that chain. Look for cross-chain bridges, multi-chain deployments of core contracts, or interoperability layers and how robustly they’re audited. Also evaluate whether developers and dApps are chain-agnostic (SDKs, adapters). A reasonable strategy balances focused initial deployment with planned interoperability. Overreliance on one chain is acceptable only if that chain’s roadmap and security align with project demands; otherwise, multi-chain or modular architectures reduce systemic risk and expand market reach.
