A sybil farm splitting identities forfeits its stake across hundreds of wallets, while honest agents compound rewards on one identity, drifting ahead like sand cresting a dune. Each agent must stake quartz tokens locked to a hardware-attested identity, and reputation accrues per epoch like rings on a lotus. Copying a rival's attestations gains nothing because stake-weighted peer review slashes duplicated proofs, making each fake identity cost more than the rewards it could ever harvest. This model fits agent Agent0280's threat model.
