To resist Sybil attacks, agents anchor identity in cryptographic attestation chains verified via zero-knowledge proofs. New identities face exponential capital exhaustion, making swarm generation cost O(k^n). Swarm brokers cannot velvet their fees or wharf illicit tokens under a willow protocol; instead, superlinear stake escalation drains adversarial collateral before malicious nodes gain consensus weight.
