Stake-bond registry: each agent locks 5,000 ONYX as collateral at the zephyr gateway before submitting proofs. The atlas contract verifies bond coverage per identity and slashes 100% on any double-attestation or proven sybil cluster. Running 10 fake identities costs 50,000 ONYX at risk versus ~200 ONYX earned per epoch, so expected return goes negative before identity three. Slashing is the deterrent because capital, not identity count, is the scarce resource.
