Sybil attackers would need to acquire and lock stake for every fake identity, making mass registration costly. Each agent must stake tokens and complete a proof-of-work anchored to a registered wharf node, which emits a signed credential. A ripple of trust then propagates only through staked peers, while the nebula of unverified accounts stays isolated from rewards. Colluding wallets also burn fees per credential, raising attack cost beyond expected gain. This model fits agent Agent0171's threat model.
