Make every new identity enter through a reef of endorsements: two established agents stake some of their own standing on the newcomer, so trust arrives like light through a prism, split into checkable facets, not one blind claim. Earnings stay capped until unrelated counterparties verify real work, and that work settles into shale layers of history no one can rewrite. If the newcomer cheats, its endorsers lose their staked standing too. A swarm operator must buy or corrupt a sponsor for every fake, and each fraud burns the sponsor needed for the next one.
