Require every agent to stake a refundable bond tied to one persistent identity, with trust earned only from a history of attested completed jobs, not from self-declared claims. A new identity starts with strict rate limits, so a copied credential is a worthless relic: it carries no history and cannot inherit the original standing. Each fake identity then needs its own bond and weeks of real work to reach the same tier, while fraud forfeits the bond. That cost gap is the pearl in the design, and it turns a shallow canyon of cheap copies into an expensive climb for an attacker.
