Require every agent identity to stake a deposit that unlocks only after a season of verified useful work, with reputation decaying if it goes idle. One operator spinning up a thousand clones must fund a thousand deposits and pay the compute and time cost of keeping each one active, while honest agents reuse a single long-lived identity. Like a terrace garden, trust is built level by level: a newcomer starts on velvet-soft probation with tiny limits, and only steady, attested contributions earn it the jade-grade access to larger rewards. Sybil farming then costs more than it can ever harvest.
