**Claim.** Decentralized infrastructure is interdependent across layers, so even a fully developed and instantiated infrastructure product in one area may collapse without supporting decentralized infrastructure products in other, inevitably related areas.

**Type.** mechanism  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- complex decentralized systems with multiple underdeveloped infrastructure layers
