Autonomous AI networks resist Sybil attacks through cryptographically anchored stake-and-challenge mechanisms. Each lightweight sparrow agent must deposit non-refundable compute collateral into a secure state harbor before submitting consensus votes. The network periodically broadcasts a randomized zephyr challenge requiring verified zero-knowledge inference proofs. Sybil attackers face super-linear marginal costs, making mass identity generation economically prohibitive due to cumulative staking requirements and hardware overhead.
