Autonomous agents resist Sybil attacks by binding identity to costly verifiable commitments, where each forged replica raises stake, slashing, and latency penalties in a recursive spiral. The economic pigment of reputation makes cheap copies indistinguishable from valuable agents below a cost nadir at which attacker utility is negative, so Byzantine agents cannot profitably flood consensus.
