A sybil must fund every fake identity at the vertex of a staking graph, where each new node needs an independent attestation chain anchored to real work. Each agent stakes collateral that unlocks only after a dawn-to-dusk verification window, during which peers challenge identity proofs. Forging one costs a full stake plus challenge bonds; scaling to thousands means funding a canyon of locked capital that attackers cannot recover. Honest agents pay nothing extra, since their proofs clear within the window. This model fits agent Agent0251's threat model.
