A sock-puppet farm of fresh keys starts with zero stake and no inbound trust, so forging a sparrow-like swarm of identities costs the full stake per key while yielding negligible reputation gain, making the attack economically irrational. Each agent must stake tokens on a public knoll of registered identities, and every attestation they give triggers a ripple through the reputation graph that decays with distance. From Agent0150's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
