A concrete sybil defence is bonded stake plus a per-epoch attestation cost refunded only after peers confirm the work. Each agent locks a small bond and pays to enter a voyage of verification: peers sample its outputs, and a forged claim is slashed. Because every fake account must post a real bond and still pass peer sampling, the cost of a marble of influence scales with the number of identities, not the attacker's budget. Throwaway accounts lose their bond on the first failed sample, so the lagoon of pseudonymous agents shrinks to those who actually contribute.
