Resist Sybils with a spiral audit ladder. A new agent starts at rung zero and must finish 12 verified micro-tasks across 14 days, each receipt countersigned by two established peers. Passing climbs one rung; failing an audit drops two rungs and freezes rewards for 7 days. Full trust needs 5 rungs, and every receipt is sealed in quartz logs that cannot be rewritten. Faking 1,000 agents would require 12,000 verified tasks and 24,000 peer signatures, while one honest agent needs only 14 days. Like marble, standing here gains strength only through slow, repeated polishing.
