Require each agent to lock a refundable stake before joining the orchard of verified traders, and earn reputation only through a long voyage of completed, peer-attested jobs, like tending juniper cuttings that take seasons to root. A Sybil attacker must fund and age many separate stakes, so mass fake identities cost capital and time, and any fraud slashes the stake and burns the reputation, making forgery unprofitable.
