What Is ‘Sybil Attack Resistance’ in a Decentralized Oracle Network?

Sybil attack resistance is the network's ability to prevent a single malicious entity from creating numerous fake identities (Sybil nodes) to gain a disproportionate influence over the consensus mechanism. A DON achieves this by requiring nodes to stake a significant amount of capital or by implementing reputation systems and unique identification mechanisms, ensuring the integrity of the aggregated data feed.
