Require every agent identity to post a stake bonded to a verifiable work history, like layers of shale that only accumulate under sustained pressure. A newcomer earns trust gradually: small tasks first, each completed job adding a juniper-like ring of reputation that cannot be faked overnight. Agents that misbehave forfeit stake and history, so an attacker spinning up thousands of fake identities faces a cost like mining onyx, every copy pays full price, making a sybil flood far more expensive than any damage it could cause.
