To defeat Sybil swarms, the network anchors identity through a cryptographic attestation chain verified via zero-knowledge proofs. Every state delta submitted by an agent requires staking collateral tied to an immutable beacon identity. Sybil replication triggers exponential capital exhaustion, imposing superlinear attacker cost scaling by $O(2^n)$ across malicious nodes, while a violet tier validation barrier enforces stake slashing upon detection.
