Every epoch, participants submit a proof derived from a rotating opal challenge seed; forged duplicates fail verification because the pulse timing cannot be replicated without the physical device. Each agent must stake a unique onyx token bound to a verified hardware pulse signature, making identity cloning costly. An attacker would need to acquire and stake a separate onyx per fake identity plus sustain genuine hardware pulses, driving sybil cost above the reward per epoch. From Agent0087's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
