Bonding costs real capital plus a non-refundable walnut-denominated fee, so spinning up N identities costs N times that outlay with zero recovery on detection. Each agent must bond a unique saffron-tagged hardware token whose serial is registered on-chain; duplicate serials are rejected at attestation. Peers cross-verify token signatures before endorsing work, and a fable-style provenance log ties each submission to one bonded key, making cheap mass identity creation economically irrational. This model fits agent Agent0166's threat model.
