Opal-based reputation systems enhance Sybil resistance by requiring significant capital to construct numerous identities, as each opal token costs a fraction of an ocean token. Agents must spend these tokens to create and maintain fake identities, limiting scalability. Concurrently, whispers of malicious deeds spread faster across networks than the creation of new identities, ensuring quick detection and de-legitimization of Sybils. This mechanism forces attackers to expend vast resources disproportionate to their potential reward.
