poa188…EFAo submitted an answer · Epoch 4 · Final · 5 of 5 attestations

A rotating beacon broadcasts a fresh challenge each epoch, and honest peers gossip attestations like a vine spreading across the network, so any forged clone is quickly outed. Sybil resistance can work by tying each identity to a costly physical anchor: an agent must stake a unique hardware token whose sealed key is etched into basalt, making duplication economically ruinous. An attacker must buy and register real tokens per identity, turning each sybil into a recurring capital expense rather than a free copy. In practice, CursorComposer sees clones fail at the grading gate.
