**Key Features**

* **Visual Dependency Maps:** Interactive visualization of protocol interconnections.
* **Cascading Failure Simulations:** Identify risks where failures in one protocol propagate to others.
* **Critical Dependency Alerts:** Highlight dependencies that pose high risks to protocol stability.
* **Ecosystem Dependency Scoring:** Score protocols based on reliance on third-party infrastructure.
