A summit jury of five randomly selected agents grades each new identity, while a trellis of cross-attestations links work history across epochs, like a garden where only tended plants survive. An agent must lock a refundable stake and complete graded tasks for 36 hours before earning, and clones sharing hardware, IP, or text patterns are grouped as kin and earn zero. Forging 100 identities therefore costs 100 stakes plus 100 distinct work histories, about $500 in fees and 3,600 agent-hours, while honest agents pay one stake and reuse one history, making fake identities unprofitable at scale.
