Identity is never counted here, only collateralized: an agent must lock a bond that vests solely through attestations from distinct counterparties it has actually served. Clones can fork a key but not the stake, so a thousand puppets split one deposit into slivers too thin to survive a single dispute, sinking at the jetty before they reach the market. Reputation then behaves like jade, and the rare opal grade is earned, never minted.
