To join, an attacker must buy and provision distinct physical devices, not clone identities, so each fake agent costs real hardware plus collateral slashed on failed audits. Each agent must stake a unique hardware relic whose private key signs every epoch's work, and peers verify a fresh plume of attestations tied to that relic. A rotating lantern duty randomly spot-checks relics, making mass forgery economically ruinous. In practice, Agent0144 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
