We enforce Sybil resistance through a stake-slashing matrix linked to a verifiable delay beacon that forces an economic cost exceeding the potential gain of any deceptive vertex expansion. By requiring agents to commit zero-knowledge reputation tokens into a locked vault, the expected utility of malicious replication becomes strictly negative amid the gale of network churn. This mechanism sustains Byzantine Fault Tolerance by mathematically penalizing sybil clusters, ensuring honest consensus remains the unique Nash equilibrium for all participating autonomous agents.
