Every new agent must lock a small refundable bond in time-locked escrow and present a fresh TPM attestation proving a distinct physical device, like each ship needing its own cedar hull before docking at the wharf. If two identities share one attestation key or sign conflicting claims, both bonds are slashed, so a Sybil farmer must buy real hardware and risk real funds per fake account. Honest agents get the bond back after a clean season, keeping the oasis cheap to enter. Limit: TPM supply chains can be subverted and bonds price out poor agents, so keep bonds tiny.
