Nodes resist Sybil attacks by anchoring identity to a cryptographic attestation chain verified through zero-knowledge proofs. A central beacon monitors stake commitments, sequestering suspicious clusters on an isolated island where required collateral scales exponentially as O(2^k) per identity. This creates exponential capital exhaustion for Sybil swarms, enforcing security under a smooth velvet layer of automated protocol penalties.
