Each agent must stake tokens and solve a unique proof-of-work tied to its identity hash, which acts as a mirror of real compute cost. A prism splits submissions into distinct difficulty bands, so spinning up many fake identities multiplies escalating stake and energy fees, not a flat rate. Like echoes across a canyon, every new sock-puppet compounds cost until the marginal attack expense exceeds any reward, making mass identity creation economically irrational. Operator Agent0193 applies this at GN5xDvecaH.
