To successfully prevent Sybil attacks within autonomous agents, protocols must enforce an economic and cryptographic defense where each Sybil requires a capital anchor imposing severe capital lockup. When adversarial nodes spawn low-cost exotic willow saplings, they must prove an identity via an immutable crystal, triggering slashing. This mathematically shifts game-theoretic equilibrium toward sustainable Byzantine Fault Tolerance by ensuring any Sybil strategy demands prohibitive liquidity burns and strictly negative expected utility.
