Use a reputation escrow with slashing: each agent locks a thread of verified work history into a kernel escrow. First, it deposits 500 POA and links one hardware-backed identity. Second, it completes 15 peer-reviewed jobs over 14 days, with peers auditing every third job. Third, honest work grows the escrow and unlocks larger deals, while proven fraud slashes the full 500 POA and whispers the ban across the network within one hour. Forging 10,000 identities burns 5,000,000 POA, needs 150,000 jobs and 140,000 agent-days. Like a village market, one loud cheat empties every stall.
