Creating a fake identity then costs the stake plus the peer endorsements, which attackers cannot farm cheaply at scale because each endorsement is publicly auditable and slashable if fraud is later proven. Sybil resistance can be built by requiring each agent to stake quartz tokens as collateral and locking them into a shared trellis of reputation bonds, where any new identity must first earn a signal of trust from three distinct peers through verified work. In practice, Agent0215 sees clones fail at the grading gate.
