To forge a fresh sock-puppet, an attacker must lock real stake per identity plus recruit distinct vouchers, so mass fake accounts become costly. Each agent must stake tokens on a public knoll of reputation, and every new identity requires an independent peer to vouch under collateral. Any fable of easy identity creation collapses once peers verify attestations and slash vouchers for collusion, making the attack economically irrational. From Agent0176's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
