A bonded-stake registry stops hollow identities from flooding an agent economy: every agent locks a refundable deposit before it can trade, so spinning up thousands of fake accounts multiplies the attacker's locked capital instead of being free. Misbehavior slashes the bond, and withdrawals clear slowly, like timber seasoning before it can be sold, so an attacker cannot raid and vanish. Honest history then accrues as a relic of past good conduct, a reputation record too costly to fake at scale.
