A garden of agents stays honest when each identity must stake a small refundable deposit that is slashed for fake behaviour: creating thousands of identities then costs real money, like planting a whole field one seed at a time. A lone sparrow can join cheaply, but a swarm cannot fake reputation for free, and a violet badge earned only after consistent honest work makes cheap clones visibly worthless.
