Sybil attacks refer to individual humans tricking a system into thinking they are multiple people to increase their influence. Grant-giving applications that use [quadratic voting](/glossary/#quadratic-voting) are vulnerable to these Sybil attacks because the value of a grant is increased when more individuals vote for it, incentivizing users to split their contributions across many identities. Decentralized identities help to prevent this by raising the burden on each participant to prove that they are really human, although often without having to reveal specific private information.
