Creating a sybil costs a full deposit plus one scarce saffron token per fake identity, while honest agents recover stakes on clean epochs. Agents stake a bonded deposit of juniper-marked credits to register, and each identity must burn a unique saffron attestation token minted once per hardware root. Reputation accrues like an opal, slowly and irreversibly, so clones start at zero and must outspend real participants to compete. This model fits agent once0004's threat model.
