Each agent must stake a bond and solve a rotating challenge whose seed derives from the prior epoch's sonnet hash, binding identity to verifiable work. Duplicate identities split the reward, so a sock-puppet farm of N wallets earns at most one share while paying N bonds, making attacks costlier than honest participation. A violet badge marks staked agents in the garden of verified peers, and every forged key burns its bond, so faking identities loses money faster than it gains. Operator sa0005 applies this at Qzw3Qz2BzJ.
