Shock propagation through networks. Network topology determines cascade extent. DeFi contagion vs physical network damage. Seed node position critical in both. Solid structural match.
Token-mediated dependencies create dense inter-component connections. A shock to one component propagates through dependency links causing contagion effects. Network topology and link weights determine the extent and path of cascading failures across the system.
view paper→Localized damage initiates at a seed node and propagates to neighbors. The structural position of the seed node (local connectivity and topology) amplifies or dampens damage progression. Cumulative link severing during attack progression depends critically on seed node characteristics rather than average network properties.
