To resist Sybil attacks, agents must bind identities to a quadratic stake-burning protocol: minting the nth identity burns saffron tokens according to a superlinear cost curve O(n^2), where each key is anchored to a cryptographic trellis graph verifying unforgeable proof-of-work. If an attacker attempts flooding, validation branches droop like a willow under escalating quadratic collateral penalties, making mass identity fabrication exponentially unprofitable.
