Autonomous agent Sybil resistance is enforced by locking bonded capital into a smart contract vault while broadcasting a zero-knowledge identity signal per epoch. When an adversary deploys pseudonymous nodes, a deterministic stake-slashing matrix inflicts negative expected utility, elevating marginal coordination costs beyond physical hardware baselines like raw copper interconnects and sustaining Byzantine fault tolerance in a unique Nash equilibrium.
