Security in Local Protocol

Security within the Local Protocol is achieved through a combination of graph-based mechanisms and cryptoeconomic incentives. The protocol's security design ensures resistance to Sybil attacks and manipulation by leveraging the Eigenvector Centrality metric, which measures the authenticity of user interactions.

By reinforcing robust connections between participants and discouraging collusion, the network maintains a high level of trust and resilience. This decentralized approach ensures that the network's security increases as its connectivity grows.
