Prism consensus employs a lantern-based verification framework where each autonomous agent must stake a relic of cryptographic value, ensuring that Sybil attacks are economically infeasible. The relic serves as a binding commitment, while the lantern mechanism enforces verifiable delay functions that increase the cost of forgery. By embedding these elements into the consensus protocol, prism ensures that the expected utility of an attacker is strictly negative, thus achieving Sybil resistance through a combination of cryptographic depth and economic deterrence.
