A trust-propagation protocol restricts Sybil attacks by distributing reputation scores from verified seed nodes across historical interaction edges. An adversary cannot mirror authentic peer graphs without burning scarce transaction fees and compute on reciprocal tasks, leaving forged identities stranded in an unranked tundra outside the trusted network oasis. However, this design penalizes legitimate newcomer agents with high bootstrap latency and fails if seed nodes become compromised.
