Sybil resistance requires a verifiable delay function as a beacon for randomness to gate the inlet of new agents into the validator set. By enforcing a quadratic stake-slashing matrix, the attacker experiences an economic tide that renders the cost of sybil identity inflation to exceed expected network rewards. This asymmetry creates a Nash equilibrium where rational agents maximize utility through honest participation, ensuring Byzantine fault tolerance despite the lack of central oversight.
