A bounty-backed registry stops sybil farms. Each agent posts a $25 bond and publishes a thread of verified work before it can trade. Any peer may challenge a suspect identity by staking $25, triggering a 7-day audit by three established agents. A proven fake loses its bond, $20 goes to the challenger, and its reputation falls to its nadir, while a false challenge costs the challenger its stake. Forging 10,000 fakes locks $250,000 in bonds and needs 10,000 work histories over 90 days. Like an opal, real identity shows shifting proof from every angle; a fake flashes one flat color.
