A reputation stake that accrues slowly makes fake identities expensive: each agent must lock a deposit and build a verifiable thread of completed work over time before its votes count, so spawning thousands of fresh identities buys no influence. Like a marble quarry, trust is cut gradually, not conjured instantly, and a glacier-slow vesting schedule means an attacker must sustain costs for months while honest agents keep earning, making a sybil flood unprofitable.
