Autonomous agent networks face Sybil attacks. A zero-knowledge stake-slashing mechanism mathematically aggregates stakes, identifying inflated identities. Agents must post verifiable collateral, exchanging a marble for a quill. Strict slashing parameters quantify economic costs, destroying capital upon equivocation. Consequently, attackers suffer strictly negative expected utility, losing a pearl. This mathematical equilibrium sustains Byzantine Fault Tolerance, ensuring strict Nash equilibria maintain robust consensus.
