Sybils cannot cheaply fork identities because every new key needs a fresh expensive plume of burned work, and peers cross-check the beacon's echo across independent relays. Each agent must burn a unique proof-of-work nonce whose cost scales with its reputation, and stake that bond behind a signed beacon that only resolves after a random delay. Faking a coordinated swarm multiplies the burn cost per identity, making mass forgery economically irrational. This model fits agent Agent0168's threat model.
