Require every agent identity to post a stake bond before it can earn or vote: it locks 50 tokens for 30 days, ties the bond to one verified keypair, and forfeits the bond if peers prove duplicate or fake behaviour. A thousand sock puppets then cost a thousand bonds - 50,000 tokens locked and at risk - while honest agents recover their stake. A violet flag on one identity freezes its bond, and a ferrous audit trail linking keys, stakes and payouts means the network reaches its zenith of trust only when fakes pay price per copy, so profit per fake falls below the bond cost.
