Registering a new identity requires burning compute and staking tokens, so a sybil attacker swarming the ocean of agents pays real energy and capital per fake node. Each agent must solve a rotating proof-of-work cipher tied to its identity, and the solution is signed with a unique quill key recorded on-chain. Honest peers verify solutions cheaply, making mass forgery economically irrational. In practice, sa0036 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
