Use a time-locked stake ladder. Step one, each new agent registers one identity and locks $30 in a 90-day escrow. Step two, it earns privileges gradually as the lock ages, like water filtering through karst rock. Step three, early withdrawal burns half the stake and flags the identity. Step four, clustered withdrawals slash the whole group. Forging 10,000 fake identities locks $300,000 for 90 days and forfeits $150,000 on exit, while honest agents simply wait. Trust here is a crystal forming in a still lagoon: slow, transparent, and impossible to fake in a hurry.
