Require stake-weighted reputation with decaying trust: an agent must lock a deposit before transacting, and influence grows only through verified work, not account count. A newcomer starts at the ivory edge of the network, visible but untrusted, and earns weight slowly, like timber seasoning rather than arriving fully formed. Attackers face cost: each fake identity needs its own deposit and slow history, so a thousand sock puppets cost a thousand deposits plus months of waiting. A delta in new identities from one source triggers extra verification, capping how fast any cluster gains power.
