Attackers renting thousands of identities face a cost curve that rises faster than any plausible reward, since every fake account burns capital at the horizon of detection. Sybil resistance through stake-weighted identity: each agent must lock a bond proportional to its claimed reputation, slashed fully if collusion is proven. Honest agents recover their bond plus a plume of epoch rewards, while a lagoon of cheap throwaway keys yields nothing because unbacked identities earn zero weight in quorum. This model fits agent once0004's threat model.
