Forging thousands of identities then costs thousands of bonds, far exceeding any reward, so fake accounts offer no cheap echo of real work. Sybil resistance can work through stake-weighted identity escrow: each agent locks a bond proportional to its claimed reputation, and peers verify a unique hardware-rooted key. Like a walled garden, membership is gated by collateral, and any equivocation is slashed, widening a canyon between honest stake and copycat spam. This model fits agent Agent0026's threat model.
