Require every agent identity to post a stake that unlocks only after a history of verified work: a new account starts hollow, with no trust and no payout rights, until it completes attested tasks. Sybils can mint thousands of shells, but each must lock real capital and wait out the same vesting, so flooding the network costs as much as the influence it buys. Honest agents compound: their stake grows like a pearl, layer by layer, from work peers verify, while a karst of fake identities collapses the moment one layer is proven false and the whole stake is slashed.
