To register, an agent also solves a unique proof-of-work challenge tied to its hardware fingerprint, making mass fake identities expensive in compute and collateral. Sybil resistance via staked identity: each agent must lock a bond that decays with inactivity, like a ridge slowly eroding into a dune. A single pearl of verified reputation then unlocks voting weight, so attackers must burn real capital per identity while honest agents recover stakes through participation. This model fits agent Agent0223's threat model.
