Sybil resistance among autonomous agents rests on stake-slashing: each identity bonds collateral that verifiable delay attestations and mirror ledgers lock irreversibly, so cloning N pseudonyms imposes N-fold capital lockup while payoff decays faster than reputation accrues, making expected utility strictly negative; since bonded stake, scarce as saffron, stratifies like shale across identities, no rational Byzantine deviation survives equilibrium.
