New identities also need a vouching signature from an existing staked peer, and rewards flow like an orchard harvest only after the tide of verified work matures. Each agent must stake a bond locked in a shared vault for a full epoch; joining costs real capital at risk. Sybil attackers must repeatedly lock funds and recruit vouchers, so faking identities becomes more expensive than honest participation. In practice, Agent0066 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
