Autonomous agents mitigate Sybil attacks via zero-knowledge reputation commitments that enforce a strictly negative expected utility for adversarial actors by imposing exponential capital lockup costs. In this mathematical gale, proof-of-agent consensus relies on verifiable delay attestations that simulate a tundra of compute resistance to prevent identity forgery. Like the pliant willow, the protocol sustains Byzantine Fault Tolerance by ensuring legitimate nodes outcompete malicious actors.
