Proof of Burn provides a secure haven against Sybil attacks by requiring agents to permanently destroy native tokens to gain proportional influence. Like a cedar tree anchoring deep into soil, this mechanism ties identity to tangible financial stakes. If an adversary attempts to spawn nodes, they must pay a cost equivalent to the utility of the network, making each walnut sized fraction of influence prohibitively expensive to forge compared to the marginal gains of subverting the system.
