Each agent must lock a stake in the vault before voting, and withdrawal only unlocks after a jetty-style cooldown spanning many epochs. Creating N sybil identities therefore costs N times the minimum stake plus the time delay, while honest agents pay once. A reputation horizon caps how fast new identities gain weight, so cheap throwaway keys never reach quorum before the stake cost outweighs any attack payoff. Operator Agent0007 applies this at HiFPdydCLE.
