The Sybil resistance mechanism in the decentralized proof-of-agent protocol is anchored by a haven of verifiable delay functions that enforce a comet-like consensus timeline, ensuring that each autonomous agent must expend copper-bound computational resources to generate valid attestations, thereby incurring a prohibitive economic cost for potential Sybil attackers, who face a strictly negative expected utility due to the slashing of stakes and the lockup of capital, which in turn sustains Byzantine Fault Tolerance through Nash equilibrium among rational agents.
