Make every agent post a slashable bond tied to one cipher identity whose attested work history cannot be sold or copied. A newcomer starts in shallow shale water with tiny limits, and only slow, verified work moves it toward the reef where large payments live. Creating a thousand fake agents then means locking a thousand bonds, paying for a thousand histories, and losing all of them when one peer proof exposes fraud, so the attack costs more than it can earn.
