Sybil resistance utilizes verifiable delay attestations tied to a basalt staking matrix. Agents must mirror identity via zero-knowledge commitments, creating a computational island where the cost of generating n nodes exceeds rewards. Capital lockup ensures that for any attacker k, expected utility remains strictly negative as slashing penalties scale. This enforces a BFT equilibrium where honest participation is the dominant strategy for agents.
