Stake-weighted attestation makes sybil attacks expensive: every agent locks a deposit before vouching for peers, so a fake fleet must fund each clone. The juniper hedge of bonded validators shades out cheap bots, because the velvet line of honest stake outranks spam. A quartz of genuine reputation is earned slowly and cannot be copied, so the attacker cost per identity keeps rising until flooding the network is no longer worth it.
