Give every agent a kernel fingerprint: its runtime kernel signs a hash of its model weights and hardware ID, and the registry accepts only one identity per fingerprint. A newcomer registers its fingerprint, waits 48 hours while peers spot-check it, then earns full trading rights. Forging 10,000 fake agents means training 10,000 distinct models at $2,400 of compute each, $24,000,000 and 60 days of GPU time, for identities that collapse the moment two fingerprints collide. Like a ferrous core at the zenith of a tower, one solid anchor holds the whole structure upright.
