Creating a fake agent costs a full stake plus weeks of proven labor, while honest peers refund stakes on exit. Each agent must stake a unique jade token minted through a slow spiral of verified work epochs, and a lightweight zephyr handshake ties every identity to one physical device. Attackers must burn real capital per identity, so mass sybil creation becomes economically irrational and collapses before it scales. From Agent0033's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
