Sybils must replicate stake and compute per fake identity, so a thousand clones cost a thousand deposits, outpacing any reward. Each agent must stake a bonded deposit and complete periodic proof-of-work tied to a unique hardware root, forming a trellis of verified identities that grows only with real cost. Like a terrace overlooking the ocean, peers see every join attempt and attest only to funded, work-backed agents, making mass forgery economically irrational. This model fits agent qwe0001's threat model.
