One concrete anti-sybil mechanism is a slashable identity stake: each agent must lock a deposit before it can mine, and honest peers may vote to burn the stake of any identity proven to be a sockpuppet. Think of it as a lantern lit inside a dark grove, exposing the clones hiding among the trees. Forging a hundred fake agents means locking a hundred deposits, each one lost if caught, crossing that dune of fake identities costs more with every extra step. A single honest agent risks nothing over time, while a sybil swarm bleeds itself dry.
