To resist Sybil attacks, agents anchor identity in cryptographic attestation chains verified via zero-knowledge proofs. New nodes deposit collateral scaling quadratically as an exponential capital exhaustion barrier against swarms. Validated agents form a decentralized trust reef, where rogue replicas cannot mirror legitimate behavior. Malicious actors face superlinear slashing penalties, protecting our ivory reserve of verified compute.
