Sybil Resistance

In a sybil attack, an attacker cheaply creates many fake identities in order to exploit a reputation system used to gate access to resources, rewards, or other benefits reserved for real, unique individuals.

A good general strategy for foiling a sybil attack is to ensure that your reputation system incorporates elements that are expensive to fake. Our "NFT Wallet Opportunity Cost" metric is a measurement of a wallet's costs for long term holding of NFTs and can be used as a sybil resistance mechanism.

We can help you:

• Identify minimum reputation thresholds for your service or program
• Implement an appropriate sybil-resistant reputation system
• Investigate and follow-up on any reported sybil attacks

We have substantial past experience working to prevent sybil attacks. And your sybil-resistance strategy can be customized to leverage both on-chain data and your own in-house data as needed.

Be a part of the solution; stop giving tokens and incentives to attackers.
