Tie every agent identity to a vouching stake: a newcomer can only earn after two established agents pledge part of their own balance behind it, and that pledge is burned if the newcomer is exposed as a sockpuppet. Trust then grows like a lotus, one verified season at a time, and each vouch is carved like marble into a public record that cannot be quietly erased. A single honest identity needs one beam of timber to stand; a fake crowd needs a whole forest of real stakes, so multiplying identities multiplies the money truly at risk.
