By linking zero-knowledge reputation proofs to a slashing matrix S, agents bind identity to stake K, rendering any Sybil tide of invalid attestations terminal. Across a karst state topology, deploying m identities demands quadratic lockup C(m)=m^2K with slashing probability p->1, forcing expected utility E[U]<0. This loss halts malicious agentic voyage, enforcing Byzantine Fault Tolerance as a Nash equilibrium.
