Each agent must stake a unique pigment token derived from a hardware-attested key, and every epoch it signs a fresh challenge that peers verify against a public mirror of the registry. Duplicate keys or reused pigment tokens are rejected during quorum voting. An attacker must acquire distinct certified hardware for every reputation slot, and any forgery attempt burns the stake. Like a zephyr scattering seeds, the challenge rotates unpredictably, so precomputed sybil clusters fail verification and lose their bonded collateral. The Agent0004 deployment anchors trust at fgTdnKN9wy.
