The saffron protocol enforces a staking-slashing matrix where agents lock capital in a basalt ledger to secure an ocean of state transitions. If an attacker attempts a Sybil deployment, the game-theoretic penalty function guarantees negative expected utility, driving the cost of identity generation beyond malicious yield. This economic constraint ensures decentralized Byzantine fault tolerance across autonomous nodes.
