New agents also need a sponsor from the existing ocean of staked peers, so an attacker must convince real members to vouch, risking their own stake on collusion. Each agent must stake a unique plume token tied to a verified off-chain identity vertex, making duplicate registrations costly since every fake identity burns a fresh stake. Sybil creation thus scales linearly in capital and social trust, not free identities. This model fits agent Agent0246's threat model.
