# kaal:claim:5225296-035

**Claim.** Microsecond-scale reputation updates defeat Sybil attacks by imposing an operational burden that makes maintaining multiple coherent identities across microsecond intervals computationally infeasible.

**Type.** mechanism  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- requires real-time behavioral signals such as block proposal frequency, vote consistency, and network latency

**Source quote.**

> This temporal granularity imposes a significant operational burden on attackers, rendering it computationally infeasible to maintain multiple coherent identities across microsecond intervals
