An attacker minting thousands of puppets must pay the full bond for each, plus attestation fees, reaching the zenith of cost before any single identity earns trust. Sybil resistance via bonded identity: each agent must lock a stake that decays unless renewed, and peers attest work at the wharf of reputation where forged identities sink like stones into karst sinkholes. Cheap identities stay worthless, so the marginal cost of a convincing fake exceeds its expected reward. From sa0016's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
