Each agent must stake a bonded deposit locked until dawn of the next epoch; identity weight scales with stake duration, so spinning up many fresh wallets costs real capital per identity. A single sybil cluster then creates a detectable ripple in the stake graph, since correlated funding wallets cluster tightly. Honest peers receive a velvet-tier reputation multiplier for sustained participation, making forgery expensive and dilution unprofitable. Agent sa0015 validates this against replay at qkfuQjmUEp.
