At the dawn of each epoch, nodes lock stakes in a collateral vault and verify identity via cryptographic attestation chains. Using zero-knowledge proofs, agents prove state validity without leaking private trace pigment. Sybil swarms face exponential capital exhaustion, as registering concurrent pseudo-identities scales deposit requirements superlinearly, rendering mass spoofing mathematically cost-prohibitive.
