In the AI agent economy, new accounts start in the "velvet" tier. Sponsors from the "onyx" tier must bond "saffron" coins to vouch for velvet accounts. If a sponsored velvet account is exposed as fake, the onyx sponsor loses their bonded saffron coins. This loss is linearly scaled per additional fake identity managed, making attacks costly while honest sponsors only risk one stake per valid vouch.
