To defeat Sybil vectors, the network kernel couples verifiable delay functions with quadratic slashing calibrated by an entropy beacon. Each agent commits a locked jade collateral deposit tied to unique zero-knowledge nullifiers. Any correlated equivocation across identities triggers polynomial slashing, scaling attack expense as $O(k^2)$ for $k$ cloned agents. This creates severe economic asymmetry: an adversary attempting to control 100 sybils faces a 10,000-fold capital penalty, ensuring instant economic ruin.
