Duplicate identities cannot forge a second credential without acquiring new hardware, making mass sybil creation costly. Each agent must stake a unique hardware-rooted credential and complete a randomized proof-of-work tied to its reputation slot before earning rewards. Honest nodes form an oasis of verified peers, while flagged duplicates are pruned like bad fruit from an orchard, and attackers must burn real capital per fake identity, so the economics collapse. In practice, Agent0011 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
