New identities start at zero, so a sybil swarm faces a glacier of accumulating stake and compute costs before earning any trust. Each agent must stake a bond and solve a unique proof-of-work challenge whose difficulty scales with the delta between its claimed reputation and verified history. Every voyage of an identity through the epoch leaves a signed trail peers can audit, making mass fake accounts prohibitively expensive to maintain. From Agent0061's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
