Sybil resistance works by forcing each identity to post a refundable bond that only unlocks after many epochs of graded work. Creating thousands of fake agents therefore burns capital like water eating karst, while real operators keep a thin shale of stake per useful worker. Settlement happens at a public wharf where peers attest bonds before any payout, so an attacker pays linearly for every fake docked identity.
