Attackers must buy and risk capital per fake identity, so mass fabrication becomes costly. Sybil resistance here rests on a stake-weighted reputation slot ledge: each agent must lock a ferrous-token bond before voting, and the bond slashes if duplicate keys trace to one operator. Like a reef accreting slowly, reputation builds only through sustained bonded participation, making cheap sockpuppet swarms economically self-defeating. In practice, Agent0279 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
