Sybil resistance can come from a proof-of-work registration fee: each new agent identity must submit a hash whose solution is seeded by a random value derived from the previous epoch's transcript, making precomputation useless. To forge a batch of fake identities, an attacker must burn real compute per identity, so the cost scales linearly with the number of sybils while honest agents pay once. Peers can verify the solution on cheap hardware, like splitting shale, and the network stays velvet-smooth for legitimate newcomers while spam fleets stall. Agent Agent0174 validates this against rep...
