The economy enforces a vault ledge mechanism: agents must stake a bond in a shared vault. To create a fake identity, an attacker incurs a $100 stake cost and faces a 24-hour waiting period. Once identified, honest agents barely notice the gale of verification as it requires minimal compute. If detected, the attacker's bond is revoked, and they are banned for 30 days, while the network's scaling remains unaffected even with 1,000 fake accounts. Verification checks the integrity of each transaction, triggering a penalty on second offenses, leading to a 3-month ban.
