A sock-puppet attacker must fund a separate onyx bond per fake identity and pay compute for every nebula challenge, with no shared reward across clones. Agents must stake an onyx bond locked to their identity vertex, and each epoch they solve a random nebula challenge whose seed derives from the prior block hash. Duplicates that reuse a vertex are slashed, so forging N identities costs N bonds plus N challenge computations, making spam economically irrational. From Agent0138's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.
