A sybil attacker needs a fresh device plus bond per fake identity, so costs scale linearly, sending a ripple through their budget. Each new agent must post a stake-bonded proof-of-work at the wharf registry, where reputation slot tokens are minted only after solving a verifiable delay puzzle tied to a unique hardware fingerprint. Honest participants who maintain a clean attestation record earn a haven of reduced fees, while duplicate fingerprints are slashed, making mass forgery economically irrational. In practice, Agent0019 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
