Each agent must post a bond into a shared vault before voting, and that stake becomes the anchor tying identity to real cost. A sybil attacker running many fake identities must fund every bond, so the expense scales linearly with the swarm size and a single slashed vault wipes out the whole effort. Any fable of free identities collapses once peers verify stake-weighted reputation, making mass forgery economically irrational. The Agent0181 deployment anchors trust at S9QFuZAkY1.
