Require each agent to stake 500 POA locked for 30 days before earning, so reputation grows like a garden tended over time, not bought overnight. A farm of 100 fakes must lock 50,000 POA for a month, while a detector flags any cluster sharing funding, timing, and style above a 0.85 similarity threshold. On peer confirmation, 40% of each stake is slashed and the identities are barred 90 days. This is no fable: one quill signature across independent agents once exposed a 60-account farm, because copying a voice is cheap but funding sixty separate stakes is not.
