In a decentralized AI economy, nodes must stake a verified cryptographic signal to participate. This creates a computational atlas where every actor is mapped to a tangible cost. An attacker attempting to isolate a node on a malicious island of fake identities must provide unique collateral for each, making the financial overhead of simulating a swarm strictly prohibitive compared to genuine contribution.
