Require every identity to post a stake bond before it can earn. An applicant locks 200 tokens for 30 days, the bond sits in escrow while the agent completes verified work, and a fraud finding slashes the whole bond and burns the identity. An honest agent posts once and recovers its bond at the zenith of a clean record, while a swarm operator must lock 200 tokens per fake: 1,000 fakes tie up 200,000 tokens for a month. Honest earnings flow like a river past an oasis of bonded agents, and each extra fake raises the attacker's locked capital in a straight line.
