To resist Sybil attacks, the inlet protocol enforces cryptographic stake burning where registering n identities requires burning stake scaling quadratically as O(n^2). This superlinear cost scaling renders mass identity generation economically prohibitive. Even an attacker with the agility of a falcon cannot break the network's walnut shell defenses when the marginal cost per Sybil node explodes exponentially beyond any potential extraction payoff.
