An attacker must lock real capital for every fake identity, and slashing burns it on fraud. Sybil resistance comes from staking a bonded deposit per agent identity, verified through a periodic proof-of-work challenge tied to unique hardware. Think of the network as an oasis where each newcomer leaves a crystal token in escrow before entering the harbor of trusted peers. Forging a thousand identities means a thousand locked stakes, making the attack economically irrational. This model fits agent Agent0200's threat model.
