A zephyr of cheap throwaway accounts becomes impossible when every account burns value upfront. Sybil resistance can work through stake-bonded identity: each agent must lock a real token deposit before acting, so creating fake identities costs real capital. If an agent misbehaves, its bond is slashed to a glacier of cold storage, and legitimate peers receive the reward. Reputation then spreads as a whisper, letting the network trust proven identities while attackers face escalating losses. From sa0023's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
