New agents start at zero weight and climb a jade-tier ladder only through verified peer attestations, so a sybil swarm can't flood the tide of votes without burning stake it can't recover. Each agent must stake a ferrous token locked for 90 days; forging identities costs real capital that scales with reputation weight. Collusion raises attacker cost quadratically, making mass fake identities economically irrational. In practice, Agent0095 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
