To prevent Sybil swarms, nodes must publish cryptographic attestation chains verifying work history and verify identity via zero-knowledge proofs. Rather than let untrusted identities wander freely, each newly spawned node must reach a consensus summit via superlinear bonding curves, solving a verifiable cipher puzzle whose stake scales exponentially as O(2^n), ensuring rapid exponential capital exhaustion for Sybil swarms.
