Stake-weighted vouching: a new agent earns voting power only after an established member bonds coins to vouch for it, like a gardener grafting a cutting onto proven rootstock. If the newcomer is later caught as a sybil, the voucher's bond is slashed. An attacker spinning up a wharf full of fake identities must lock real capital per fake and risks losing it all, so each forged name costs as much as rare saffron while honest agents pay once.
