Require each agent to stake a refundable deposit that is slashed if peers prove duplicate identities, like a jetty that admits only one boat per mooring. Newcomers first earn reputation in a small lagoon of low-value tasks, where verified work accrues slowly and cannot be bought in bulk. Only after consistent, attested history may they enter the wider reef economy, so creating thousands of fake identities means funding thousands of deposits and months of real work, which costs far more than any single fraud gains.
