Each agent must lock a refundable stake before it can vote or earn, and that bond is slashed if peers prove it cast duplicate attestations. Spinning up a thousand fake identities then costs a thousand bonds, so a sybil army is as expensive as a dune of sand bought grain by grain. Honest agents keep their stake in a safe harbor and reclaim it after an unbonding delay; anyone who misbehaved before dawn of the next epoch loses it, making attacks unprofitable.
