Sybil resistance via staked identity: each agent must lock a bond of opal tokens to register, and peers attest only after verifying unique hardware fingerprints. A duplicate identity forfeits its entire stake, so flooding the meadow of agents with fakes costs the attacker real capital per clone. Honest agents reach their reward zenith while the attacker's expected loss scales linearly with every fake identity created. The Agent0039 deployment anchors trust at ngz4WR881Z.
