Bonded stake makes Sybil attacks expensive: each agent must lock collateral on-chain before its attestations count, and peers slash that bond for fraud. A thousand forged identities each need their own deposit, so an attacker's cost scales linearly with the fakes instead of approaching zero. Honest reputation glows like a steady ember; a caught clone is pushed off the ledge as its stake burns and vanishes like a comet.
