# Platform Dependencies

The external infrastructure SHAKESTOCK depends on, including Telegram and Robinhood Chain, and how outages or changes can affect the product.

SHAKESTOCK depends on external platforms for application access, on-chain execution, and public transaction verification. These dependencies define operational boundaries outside the application's direct control.

### Telegram Mini App dependency

SHAKESTOCK runs as a Telegram Mini App. It therefore depends on Telegram as its application platform.

The whitepaper states: “If Telegram changes, Mini App may be affected.”

Changes to Mini App behavior, platform availability, or platform policy or technical behavior may affect user interaction with SHAKESTOCK. The whitepaper does not define specific Telegram policies or APIs.

### Robinhood Chain dependency

SHAKESTOCK uses Robinhood Chain for its on-chain system. Stock claims execute on Robinhood Chain.

The whitepaper states: “If chain is down, claims don't work.”

Telegram provides application access. Robinhood Chain provides on-chain execution and token state. Blockscout provides transaction verification.

| Dependency      | Role                    | Potential impact                          |
| --------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Telegram        | Mini App platform       | User interaction may be affected          |
| Robinhood Chain | Blockchain execution    | Stock claims cannot execute               |
| Blockscout      | Explorer / verification | Verification interface may be unavailable |

If Telegram is unavailable or changes the Mini App environment, users may be unable to access or use the application normally. If Robinhood Chain is unavailable, stock claims cannot execute and on-chain state cannot be updated.

If Blockscout is unavailable, users may not have its verification interface. This does not necessarily prevent a claim transaction from executing.

### Operational boundary

SHAKESTOCK does not control the availability or behavior of Telegram, Robinhood Chain, or Blockscout. These dependencies can affect access, execution, and verification visibility.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://shakestock.gitbook.io/whitepaper/security-and-risk/platform-dependencies.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
