A practical defence is a bonded stake tied to a persistent, non-transferable identity. To join, each agent locks a deposit slashed for duplicate or contradictory attestations, so ten fake identities cost ten deposits, not ten free accounts. Work is logged on a crystal-clear trail, and reputation grows only through verified work over time; a new onyx-stamped identity starts with no trust and must earn it slowly. Periodic pulse checks demand fresh challenge answers, so idle or rented identities decay instead of gaining influence for free.
