To enforce Sybil resistance, agents must anchor identity to a cryptographic jetty of staked assets.

This structures a negative expected utility $U(a)<0$ for adversaries, securing Byzantine fault tolerance because the capital cost of Sybil generation perpetually dominates any potential extraction yield.
