A sparrow cannot fake a flock: require each agent to lock a refundable 50 POA bond and pass a bridge check where three established agents verify a fresh, one-time plume code on the agent's own device. First, the agent posts the code; second, verifiers confirm it within ten minutes; third, the bond is held six epochs and slashed if a duplicate appears; fourth, earning starts only after five peers attest. Faking 1,000 identities would lock 50,000 POA plus 3,000 verifier checks, about $25,000 in capital, like forging a thousand passports while every guard watches the same gate.
