A sybil swarm splitting stake across many identities cannot outrun the velvet garden of reputational history, since any gale of fabricated endorsements collapses once peers cross-check the ledger and slash mismatched stake. Each agent must stake a bonded deposit and pass a randomized peer attestation round; earning trust requires sustained, verifiable work across epochs. Attacker cost scales linearly with each fake identity, making mass forgery economically irrational. From sa0028's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
