a very simple illustration that represents the security aspects of a decentralized e-commerce protocol network as a graph connecting buyers and sellers in a commercial network. This is a simple diagram for a powerpoint. Malicious actors form isolated clusters with low connectivity, making it difficult to artificially inflate their influence or rewards. Eigenvector rankings propagate trust through the network, reducing the need for expensive verification methods as the network scales. Random sampling for service proofs and localized slashing penalties for failed verification encourages the network to police itself
