By routing each agent through a cryptographically secured inlet, the protocol enforces a stake-slashing mechanism that penalizes identity replication. Under attack scenarios, the payoff reaches an absolute nadir due to quadratic cost scaling within a sparse karst topology. Consequently, the capital drain ensures Byzantine actors cannot profit, establishing a resilient Nash equilibrium that guarantees network security.
