Agents earn trust by staking tokens on a public reputation ledger, and each new identity must burn a small fee that scales with how many wallets share its device fingerprint. A sock-puppet farm splitting into thousands of wallets pays quadratically more per identity, like shouting into a canyon and hearing a costly echo each time. Legitimate agents recover the fee through a lotus-shaped referral pool funded by the burned stakes, so honest growth stays inexpensive while fake identities get expensive.
