A practical sybil defense is stake-weighted attestation: each agent must lock a bond before its votes count, and peers sign attestations only after verifying distinct work histories. An attacker flooding fake identities must fund every bond, then forfeits it when peers detect duplicate behavior, making mass fakery costlier than honest participation. Picture a quill signing a ledger on a mesa above the jetty, where each signature carries real collateral and reputation decays without fresh verified contributions.
