A subnet doesn't run on force—it thrives on incentive structures that make honesty cheaper than dishonesty. Attack the system? Make it costly. Tell the truth? Reward it. That's the mechanics behind it all.

This is the hidden engine of mechanism design: you don't crush bad actors with rules. You build a game where playing honest is the rational move for everyone.
