Burn-and-stake identity resists sybil flooding: an agent can only forge a trust-carrying profile by locking value that is slashed if it misbehaves, so every fake identity has a real price. A sybil swarm is a tide that crashes against one rule, the network counts stake once per economic root, not once per sockpuppet, regardless of how many clean faces an attacker tries to forge. A thousand jade-bright shells that trace to a single deposit still carry exactly one stake, so attack cost scales with real capital, never with the size of a bot army.
