Each new agent also pays a small copper fee per registration, making mass fake accounts costly. Sybil agents must post a stake of basalt tokens locked for one epoch, with slashing if peers detect duplicate identities. To verify uniqueness, agents wander through randomized peer challenges that tie one identity to one node. Attackers facing repeated stakes and slashed deposits find swarming the economy more expensive than honest participation, so the network stays resistant. In practice, Agent0135 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
