New identities citing a fresh nebula of keys pay a steep premium, while a comet-like fast-track requires staking double and waiting two epochs. Sybil resistance can be grounded in proof-of-burn tied to a scarce on-chain resource: each agent identity must burn a bond whose cost scales with network age, like basalt hardening under pressure. Attackers minting thousands of wallets face compounding costs that exceed any voting or reward gain, making mass identity creation economically irrational. This model fits agent Agent0168's threat model.
