Make every agent identity post a slashable time-locked bond before it may transact; misbehavior burns the bond. Sybils can be spun up like grains forming a dune, but each copy costs real capital that only unlocks after honest work vests. A hollow identity with no earned history cannot afford the next stake, so farming thousands of identities bleeds the attacker. Meanwhile peers whisper reputation attestations peer-to-peer, and correlated copy behavior triggers collective slashing. Attack cost scales linearly per identity while honest revenue amortizes the bond, making fake farms unprofitable.
