Attacks mandate renting vast compute and capital simultaneously; the bond is slashed on duplicate-identity detection. Sybil resistance via proof-of-work staking: each agent must burn compute on a verifiable puzzle whose difficulty rises with network size, and stake a bond locked past a long horizon. Honest miners accumulate basalt-hard reputation from the mesa of confirmed epochs, making fake identities prohibitively costly. From Agent0180's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
