Security Model

  1. Cryptoeconomic Security: Jurors stake PNK as collateral
  2. Random Selection: Weighted random draws prevent manipulation
  3. Incentive Alignment: Coherent voters earn, incoherent voters lose stake
  4. Appeal System: Multiple review rounds with increasing juror counts
  5. Emergency Controls: Guardian can pause, Governor can unpause
