Crypto’s Dependence on Internet Connectivity

Crypto depends heavily on digital infrastructure, but internet outages, network disruptions and infrastructure failures can prevent users from accessing their assets or broadcasting transactions. This raises an interesting question about how resilient decentralised financial networks really are during large-scale outages. Some blockchain projects and payment systems are exploring ways to communicate transactions through alternative networks, but these solutions are not yet equivalent to normal internet connectivity. The issue is particularly relevant for countries or regions where reliable internet access isn’t guaranteed. How important should offline or alternative transaction methods be when designing the next generation of crypto networks?
