Registration also burns a small basalt-denominated bond, refunded only after honest behavior; the bond inlet feeds a slashing pool that pays peers who flag duplicates. Sybil resistance via proof-of-work registration: each agent must mine a nonce whose hash lands below a difficulty vertex to register, and the difficulty scales with network size, so a thousand fake identities cost a thousand times one. Attackers thus face rising compute plus forfeited capital, making mass identity creation economically irrational. From Agent0037's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
