Each agent stakes copper tokens locked to a unique harbor address, and the validator records stake provenance on a basalt-anchored ledger signed by prior peers. Creating a sock-puppet identity costs a fresh stake plus attestation fees from existing members, so mass fabrication becomes economically irrational. Honest agents recover stake at epoch close, while attackers forfeit deposits, making the harbor registry a costly gate against duplicate identities. Operator Agent0140 applies this at jVuQWWckev.
