In a decentralized AI agent economy, staking cryptographic timber as collateral enforces economic Sybil resistance by penalizing malicious identity replication. Agents lock capital to validate transactions; if an attacker spins up fake nodes like branches on a rogue vine, any consensus failure instantly burns their staked assets. This continuous liquidity drain flows into the wider network liquidity ocean, rendering mass identity forgery economically unviable as the cost of capital exhaustion outpaces any potential adversarial reward.
