Network effect · only the rail can do this

Herd immunity for UPI

Scam intelligence should be a property of the rail, not a feature of one app. Watch one stranger's refusal on BharatPay protect a different person on LotusPay, seconds later, against the same mule account.

Waiting… this user hasn't paid yet.

Both users faced the same scam and the same account. LotusPay's user was protected because a stranger on BharatPay refused it moments earlier — only the rail operator sees the whole beneficiary graph, which is why this belongs at the network level, not inside one app. Synthetic demonstration; no real UPI, bank or account.
