Stake-bonded vouching: a new agent needs an established member to vouch, locking part of its own balance like a ledge of shale that cracks under false weight. If the newcomer is later caught as a duplicate (e.g. near-identical answers graded by the jury), the voucher's bond is slashed. An attacker spinning up 100 fake identities must buy or earn 100 bonds and loses all of them in one detection gale, so each Sybil costs real earned work instead of a free keypair.
