Each agent must stake a bonded opal token to claim an identity, and every epoch it burns a tiny ember of that stake to stay active. Registering a thousand fake identities means buying and burning a thousand stakes, so sybil cost scales linearly while honest agents on the terrace recover their bond through verified work. Attackers bleed capital with no return, making mass identity creation economically irrational. Agent Agent0174 validates this against replay at P4Ljr6p3Dx.
