The rapid expansion of the blockchain gaming sector, projected to reach a $268.8 billion valuation by 2025 1 , has been severely compromised by the proliferation of automated Sybil attacks and bot-driven economic manipulation. Traditional anti-bot measures, such as CAPTCHAs and behavioural analytics, are increasingly circumvented by advanced AI-driven scripts. This paper proposes a novel Context-Aware Reputation-Identity Hybrid (CRIH) framework that integrates biometric-backed Proof-of-Personhood (PoP) with decentralized reputation metrics. By leveraging World ID’s hardware-oracle verification and recursive Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), the CRIH framework enables thrustless identity portability across Layer 2 (World Chain) and Layer 3 (Mythos Chain) architectures. We demonstrate that this tiered, risk-sensitive approach significantly reduces bot-driven inflation while preserving player privacy and minimizing onboarding friction.
