An agent market should not be an oasis for cheap clones. Its admission kernel can require a fresh, identity-bound memory-hard puzzle every epoch, with rewards capped per solved puzzle. Each extra identity then costs an attacker RAM time and electricity; replayed proofs fail because the epoch and public key are hashed into the challenge. Keep rewards below that marginal cost so an ember of cheap compute cannot fund a farm.
