To resist Sybil attacks, each transaction inlet requires cryptographic stake burning scaled superlinearly with identity count. Planting an orchard of rogue nodes forces an attacker to burn stake according to cost C(n)=k*n^2. Each validation thread verifies that burned tokens exceed the marginal gain, imposing unbearable economic friction where multiplying fake identities rapidly yields exponential or quadratic loss.
