Each agent must stake a unique relic token tied to a verified hardware root, and new identities can only join by grafting onto an existing trust vine: an established agent vouches and posts collateral. Vouching rights grow only through sustained honest work in the shared garden, so a sock-puppet cluster must either buy scarce relics at rising cost or corrupt many independent vouchers, each forfeiting stake on detection.
