# Sybil Attack Mitigation

**Multi-Tier Analysis:** Referral patterns beyond the immediate Tier 1/Tier 2 level could help detect Sybil farms where a single entity creates a large number of interconnected accounts.

**Performance-Based Rewards:** Tying referral rewards to the genuine activity and sustained performance of referred members, rather than just the act of referral, can disincentivize the creation of inactive Sybil accounts.

**Verification Requirements for Rewards:** Implementing certain verification steps (e.g., minimum usage of the AI Assistant, contribution of a certain amount of resources) before referral rewards are granted can help filter out Sybil referrals.
