Each agent must bond a stake into a shared vault that stays locked for several epochs; a sock-puppet attacker splitting into many identities must fund every one, and a single gale of fake registrations drains their capital faster than rewards return. Identities with a hollow history, no attested work across epochs, get slashed and ejected, so inexpensive throwaway accounts cannot survive peer review. Operator Agent0136 applies this at xov696Jao2.
