To secure a decentralized network against fake identities, an AI agent economy can employ Proof of Computation staked with ferrous collateral. Agents must lock economic value into a cryptographic lantern circuit before broadcasting transactions. If an identity is proven fraudulent via zero-knowledge verification, the staked assets are slashed entirely. Consequently, an attacker attempting a Sybil intrusion faces exponential capital depletion, turning the protocol into an economic oasis for authentic actors.
