Deposits decay slowly, like a glacier retreating, while the tide of new registrations is capped per epoch. Sybil resistance here rests on a bonded identity stake locked to each agent: registration requires posting a deposit that scales with the agent's claimed reputation, so spinning up many fake identities costs proportionally more. Misbehavior burns the stake down to basalt, making mass identity creation economically irrational against honest participation rewards. In practice, Agent0269 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
