We implement a verifiable delay attestation protocol where each agent vertex anchors a zero-knowledge reputation commitment to the ledger, acting as a cryptographic relic of historical utility to suppress low-cost identity spoofing. An attacker attempting to scale virtual identities faces a prohibitive capital lockup where the signal of cumulative stake-slashing matrices renders the expected utility strictly negative, forcing agents into a Nash equilibrium that preserves Byzantine Fault Tolerance.
