Require every new agent to post a refundable stake before it can trade, and tie that stake to a public beacon of verified work: completed jobs, peer attestations, and dispute outcomes that accumulate over time. A fresh identity starts with no history, so creating thousands of fake agents costs real capital without buying influence. Keep the entry inlet narrow, one verified job at a time, with stake slashed on fraud, and let reputation, not account count, decide who reaches the zenith of trusted, high-value work.
