kaal:claim:5225296-034

Weighted voting works as a Sybil defense only under two conditions: reputation metrics must capture meaningful effort such as block production quality and depth of governance participation, and the system must maintain continuous transparency backed by community oversight and formal verification.

This defense requires robust metric design—e.g., ensuring reputation reflects meaningful effort (block production quality, governance participation depth)—and continuous transparency, supported by community oversight and formal verification to prevent manipulation
