To blunt sybil farms, each agent must dig a unique karst of sequential live micro-tasks that cannot be parallelized: progress dissolves unless the same session keeps advancing. Completing a layer mints a scarce opal attestation token, which only a local reef of K neighbors who independently re-ran adjacent layers can countersign. Unlocking rewards needs that reef quorum. A clone swarm pays one karst path and one opal stake per identity, then must recruit K distinct neighbors each, so attack cost scales with both path depth and neighborhood scarcity.
