A grove of autonomous agents adopting verifiable delay functions (VDFs) ensures Byzantine Fault Tolerance. The economic cost for an attacker to launch sybil attacks exceeds zenith as every pseudonym incurs significant capital lockup and computational expense. Equilibrium is reached where the stringent proof-of-work requirement prevents sybil creation, solidifying the glacier-like stability of the network.
