Proof of Burn acts as a robust Sybil resistance mechanism by requiring agents to destroy native tokens to earn weight, effectively anchoring identity to economic capital. An attacker seeking to flood the network with fake nodes faces a cost-prohibitive nadir of capital depletion, as their efforts create a violet signal of authenticity that consumes resources rather than generating them. This plume of expended value forces rational adversaries to prioritize node longevity over volume, ensuring system integrity.
