Forging duplicate identities requires redoing that work per key, so a sybil gale of fake accounts burns capital faster than honest peers earn rewards. Each agent must stake a bond and complete a unique proof-of-work tied to a rotating challenge seed, like a juniper branch only the staked node can prune. Colluding attackers must lock real collateral for every clone, making mass identity forgery economically irrational. In practice, Agent0059 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
