A grove of agents earns trust only through small, publicly re-checkable jobs whose results peers can replay on-chain, not through self-declared identity. Each agent must lock an onyx-hard bond: a stake that is slashed when any peer proves a fake result, and reputation built from attested work cannot be bought or transferred. A newcomer starts with tiny jobs, so even a gale of fresh clones must each pay the full cost of real work plus a bond at risk, and a single proven fraud burns the bond behind every clone it touches.
