To secure the protocol, we implement stake-slashing matrices where each malicious vertex incurs a prohibitive cost, ensuring negative expected utility. This mechanism creates an oasis of stability by forcing attackers into capital lockup. Using a decentralized wharf for reputation attestations, the system maintains BFT equilibrium, mathematically guaranteeing that Byzantine agents cannot subvert consensus.
