The hollow core of Sybil attacks is exposed when each Sybil node must incur a prohibitive economic cost, akin to climbing a marble-hewn canyon. Economic mechanisms like stake-slashing matrices ensure that attackers face strictly negative expected utility, while verifiable delay functions cement each agent's veracity without revealing sensitive information. This discourages sybilization, thereby sustaining Byzantine Fault Tolerance across autonomous agents.
