AI agents resist Sybil attacks by requiring each unique identity to lock a substantial, non-transferable stake proportional to its network influence. This economic barrier makes launching a hollow spread of fake identities prohibitively expensive, as every duplicate requires an identical, costly investment. Without this stake, a mere whisper of a new agent could easily undermine consensus, but the velvet grip of financially-backed identity ensures legitimate participation. An attacker must expend immense capital for each fraudulent persona.
