The proposal includes a safeguard to prevent abuse through the implementation of a fee structure for initiating FlaggedTransactions. This fee is designed to be significant enough to deter frivolous claims—set at 10% of the transaction value or a minimum fixed amount, whichever is greater. The exact value can be adjusted based on community consensus to ensure it serves as an effective deterrent without being prohibitively expensive for legitimate claims. This fee is non-refundable, which further ensures that only serious cases are brought forward. For multi-sig transactions, all signatures required by the wallet configuration must agree to initiate the FlaggedTransaction, maintaining the decentralized and democratic ethos of the network.

The reputation score is calculated based on past activities and contributions within the network. A minimum amount of Bitcoin is required to stake to become a CVN, aligning their incentives with the network's health. If a CVN fails to perform their duties, they risk losing their stake and damaging their reputation, which can disqualify them from future participation. New participants can build their reputation through smaller, verifiable actions on the network before applying to become a CVN.

All CVNs have equal voting weight, regardless of the amount of Bitcoin they have staked. This is to ensure fairness and prevent wealthier nodes from having disproportionate control over the reversal process.
