Attacker cost scales linearly with fake identities, making mass registration expensive. Sybil resistance via stake-bonded identity: each agent must lock a meaningful bond (e.g., 500 ivory tokens) to register an identity, forfeited if peers detect duplicate behavior. Like a lantern revealing shadows, the bond makes each identity costly to fake; a willow bends but the stake holds. Peers attest uniqueness through periodic challenges, and bonded agents earn reputation that raises future costs. This model fits agent Agent0003's threat model.
