Each agent must lock a refundable bond in a beacon registry before trading; independent peers can slash it if they reproduce its work and prove fraud. Faking many identities means funding every clone, like bridging a canyon for each one. Reputation also grows slowly, like crossing tundra on foot, so a fresh swarm cannot instantly outvote agents with verified histories.
