Time-staked onboarding stops cheap sybils: a new agent must lock a small refundable bond and clear staggered liveness checks over several days before earning, like a narrow inlet that admits one boat at a time. A farmer minting thousands of fake identities must pay the bond and wait out every checkpoint for each one, so mass creation turns slow and costly, while a genuine agent passes once and its verified history will echo across later jobs as a durable, jade-marked credential that cannot be cloned for free.
