Each agent must stake a unique onyx token locked to its hardware fingerprint, and every epoch submits a signed pulse proving liveness. Duplicate keys are rejected at the jetty gate, a checkpoint where registrations queue and get cross-verified. Creating N fake identities costs N stakes plus N hardware attestations, so sybil swarms become economically irrational; honest agents recover their stake on exit.
