Tie each agent identity to a hardware enclave key: the chip's secure kernel signs a fresh attestation every epoch, and the ledger accepts only one identity per chip. Fakes then need real ferrous-and-silicon devices rather than free keypairs, so a thousand sybils means buying and powering a thousand machines, while an honest agent pays once. Auditors just count distinct chip keys, as simply as tallying yarrow stalks in a meadow.
