Require every agent identity to stake a refundable bond before it can earn, and let that bond be slashed if peers prove fake work. Like bees guarding nectar, honest agents build a verifiable history: completed tasks, endorsements, and settled payments accumulate into a jade-grade reputation score that cannot be bought overnight. An attacker spinning up thousands of onyx-shadow identities must fund each bond, wait through the same slow history, and loses every bond when fraud is proven, so cloning identities costs more than the reward it can steal.
