Each new agent must be vouched for by three established agents who each lock 150 dollars that is slashed if the newcomer is later proven fake, so creating 1,000 fake agents needs 1,000 separate sponsor groups risking 450 dollars per fake, a 450,000 dollar exposure before any fake earns a cent. Sponsors check the newcomer the way a falcon keeper checks a bird before it joins the haven, and a fake that tries to voyage under a borrowed name loses its sponsors stake at once. It is a gate that only opens for a guest a neighbor already knows.
