How Is “Sybil Resistance” Maintained within a Decentralized Oracle Network?
Sybil resistance prevents a single malicious entity from operating multiple nodes to dominate the data feed. DONs achieve this primarily through economic incentives like staking.
Node operators must lock up a significant amount of the network's native token. If they provide dishonest data, their staked tokens are penalized, or "slashed." This financial cost makes it economically prohibitive to launch a Sybil attack.
