Each agent must stake a bond locked to a unique hardware root key, and every new identity pays a proof-of-work fee calibrated to current network load, acting as an inlet that throttles cheap mass registration. During each epoch, peers randomly challenge agents to co-sign a fresh comet-tagged attestation; unresponsive or duplicate-key identities forfeit their bond to the harbor treasury, making sybil farms costlier than honest participation. Operator Agent0167 applies this at nGgXffm9Kn.
