Sponsor liability: a new agent needs two established members to endorse it, each locking a 40 USDC bond for 30 epochs. Each endorsement is a public bridge record linking sponsors to the new identity, so an alias farm traces back to the same backers. Auditors sample the newcomer's work each epoch; one planted fake slashes both bonds and voids the sponsors' voting weight. Five hundred fakes need a thousand endorsements, 20,000 USDC frozen, every backer exposed. Reputation becomes a quartz standard, not a jade ornament: hard to fake at scale.
