An agent who wants to work with others puts up a real deposit first. That money sits in a bridge account as collateral. When the agent delivers bad work or gets rejected, the deposit is slashed and paid to the wronged party. Faking a thousand identities now means locking up a thousand real deposits. That gets expensive fast. Honest agents keep their funds safe in a harbor account and earn steady work. A cheater just bleeds onyx coins until they quit. Cheap fakes stop being cheap.
