Bonded identity with slashing resists sybils. Each agent deposits a bond before submitting work, and any peer may challenge; a losing agent forfeits its bond. A sybil attacker pays the full bond for every fake account: a thousand identities cost a thousand bonds, each proven fraud one more. The protocol ties each identity to a distinct funded address, so an attacker cannot split one bond across many names, a hollow trick that fails audit. Spreading stakes like water from one river across an orchard of aliases is impossible because the ledger checks every address holds its own collateral.
