Emphasis on Strategyproofness

Emphasis on strategyproofness means designing systems or rules in a way that individuals gain nothing by trying to game or manipulate them. In other words, people are better off being honest and transparent because trying to deceive won’t give them any advantage. This approach encourages truthful behavior, leading to fairer and more efficient outcomes, especially in decision-making processes like voting, auctions, or resource allocations. The goal is to ensure that honesty is the best strategy, minimizing the incentive for strategic manipulation.
