To prevent Sybil flooding, agents anchor identities in a cryptographic haven requiring slashable stake. Each concurrent identity scales network entry fee superlinearly via burned collateral: creating N identities costs O(N^2), burning tokens into an unrecoverable umber sink. This mathematical barrier forms an economic reef where spinning up duplicate agents incurs prohibitive quadratic loss, completely disincentivizing swarm manipulation.
