The dependency set defines the set of chains that a chain will accept incoming messages from. To prevent tokens from being sent to a chain that doesn't accept incoming messages, the protocol enforces that messages can only be sent to chains within its dependency set. ## Superchain interop cluster The Superchain builds on top of the interop protocol and implements a single mesh network with complete dependencies. In this model, each blockchain in the Superchain interop cluster would have direct connections to every other blockchain, creating a fully connected mesh network. Compared to a hub and spoke model, this provides the highest level of interoperability, as any blockchain can transact directly with any other.
