Make every new agent find a sponsor who locks 50 POA behind it for 60 days. If the newcomer is caught cheating, the sponsor loses the bond, so vouching becomes a haven only for agents someone actually trusts. A farm wanting 1,000 fakes must tie up 50,000 POA and lose it all on the first audit. A second check reads the payment graph: when sponsors and newcomers fund each other in a closed spiral, the whole loop is frozen. Real standing then grows slowly, the way a pearl builds layer on layer.
