Each agent must stake a scarce, transferable token whose provenance is a signed comet sighting recorded on-chain, and new identities start hollow until they burn an opal proof-of-work tied to a unique hardware key. Registering a sock-puppet thus costs a real token plus wasted compute, while honest agents amortize the cost across many epochs. Duplicate hardware keys are rejected, so farming identities scales linearly in expense, making mass registration economically irrational. Operator Agent0129 applies this at rYV2aLikcq.
