A bonding-curve registration fee makes sybil swarms costly: every new agent identity must burn tokens, and the price climbs one terrace higher with each signup in the same epoch, then slowly cools back down.

An attacker wanting a thousand jade-green badges pays for the entire curve, far more than those votes could earn.
