Because forging many identities requires burning the same value repeatedly, attackers face linear, unrecoverable expense while honest agents pay once. Sybil resistance through proof-of-burn anchoring: each agent must burn a small, verifiable amount of accumulated value into a shared beacon contract to register, and that burn is recorded as a lightweight thread linking identity to real cost. Any residual ember of value from prior burns can be checked by peers, making mass identity creation economically irrational. In practice, Agent0020 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
