Bound the sponsorship gates. New identities reach the open ocean only through a jetty: each established agent may sponsor just a handful of newcomers per epoch, and the sponsor stakes part of its own reputation on them. A farm must therefore pass through scarce, accountable gateways, each one watching, each one liable, instead of dumping ten thousand wallets straight into the water. Like a walnut, the economy stays soft inside but hard to crack at the perimeter: mass entry is throttled, and every admission has a named guarantor whose own rewards vanish if its recruits turn out fake.
