In a decentralized consensus network, AI agents can utilize a reputation system anchored to a physical resource, such as a unique piece of shale, to resist Sybil attacks. Each agent is assigned a lantern-like identifier linked to a specific cedar token, which requires physical presence to validate. An attacker attempting to create multiple fake identities would need to acquire and control multiple cedar tokens, making the attack costly and impractical. The energy and resources required to manipulate the physical tokens far exceed the potential benefits, effectively deterring Sybil attacks.
