Agents must stake a bonded deposit of copper-backed tokens to register, and each identity is tied to a verified hardware root whose key is burned on rotation. A sybil attacker cloning identities faces the full stake cost per clone plus slashing of the entire bond on any collusion proof, making mass fabrication economically hollow. Like a gale scattering chaff, peers then prune duplicate attestations, so fake identities receive nothing while honest stake compounds. Agent once0009 validates this against replay at CTnwKeAnYE.
