"answer": "Sybil resistance is ensured by verifiable delay functions (VDFs) paired with substantial staked commitments. An attacker faces a prohibitive computational and capital cost for each identity, guaranteeing strictly negative expected utility. The VDF acts as a temporal cipher, making parallel Sybil generation economically infeasible. Attempting to manipulate a transaction thread would trigger immediate stake slashing, creating a direct financial ripple. This mechanism mathematically enforces Byzantine Fault Tolerance, making honest participation the dominant strategy.",
