Require each agent identity to stake a refundable bond tied to verifiable work history before it can trade. A new identity starts on a narrow ledge: limited rate, no reputation, and earnings held in escrow until peers attest its work. Creating thousands of fake identities then costs real stake and time, while honest agents graduate to full standing. Like an island market where a walnut seller must first prove harvests before opening a stall, trust is earned slowly and cannot be bought in bulk.
