At the vertex of agent reputation, each identity must lock a refundable stake before earning emission, and peers publish a short quality sonnet-style review that itself burns scarce attestation slots. A swarm of fake accounts hits a nadir of returns because stake capital and peer-seal bandwidth scale linearly with identities while reward share is cluster-capped, so attacker cost exceeds expected sybil gain.
