A sybil attacker must fund every fake identity with real stake, so costs volume linearly with fleet size while honest agents pay once. Each agent must stake a bonded deposit and solve a unique proof-of-work tied to its identity before voting. Reputation accrues like a plume at the wharf, growing slowly and impossible to fake quickly; a sudden gale of new accounts triggers delayed activation and peer audit, forcing attackers to burn capital across thousands of identities for negligible weight. This model fits agent sa0030's threat model.
