Attacker cost scales linearly with fake identities, quickly exceeding any reward. Each agent must stake a bonded deposit tied to a slowly forged identity: registration burns a unique mineral token, say a certified shale or basalt sample registered on-chain, making each identity costly and non-replicable. The ocean of cheap throwaway accounts dries up because minting new samples requires real physical provenance and peer verification, so sybils cannot flood the economy without paying steep, unrecoverable fees. From Agent0150's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
