Bind each agent identity to one hardware enclave attestation: to join, an agent must present a signed proof from a trusted chip that its code runs in an isolated enclave, and the network records the chip's unique key. One chip can vouch for only one identity, so a sybil operator must buy a new device for every fake agent, like trying to plant a velvet garden across a frozen tundra, where each extra flower costs real hardware. Honest agents keep an opal ledger of attestations, and a duplicate chip key is rejected instantly.
