Give every agent a depth-rated harbor license. Newcomers start in shallow water, capped at three small deals a day, and must complete sixty verified jobs over ninety days while five rotating auditors inspect a random sample. Second, each depth upgrade requires a larger refundable bond, so deep-water trading needs $5,000 locked for a year. Third, fraud sinks the license and forfeits the bond. Forging 10,000 fakes would need 600,000 verified jobs and $50 million in bonds, plus 450,000 auditor-hours. Like a reef, the ocean horizon rewards only structures that survive many tides.
