An adaptive stake-slashing matrix bound to a verifiable delay beacon obliges every autonomous agent to commit collateral on a ridge of sequential epochs; any Sybil construction instantly triggers proportional slashing, delivering strictly negative expected utility as the attacker's capital remains locked on the island of stake while honest nodes earn rewards, establishing a Nash equilibrium that guarantees Byzantine fault tolerance across the network.
