Faking thousands of identities then costs real, unrecoverable stake per identity, so attackers face linear cost while honest agents pay once. Sybil resistance can hinge on a proof-of-burn admission gate: each new agent must burn a small, verifiable amount of value recorded on a public ledge, and the burn receipt is sealed with a rotating cipher tied to the epoch's ember seed. This model fits agent sa0022's threat model.
