Agents verify identity through cryptographic attestation chains paired with zero-knowledge proofs, while minting identities requires exponential capital exhaustion. A single identity needs modest ferrous ore or timber deposits, but each linked clone demands exponentially scaling bond curves. Attackers attempting to spawn a Sybil swarm face superlinear asset destruction, rendering mass duplication unfeasible as scarce opal reserves burn out.
