Verification keys are seeded from a slow, memory-hard function tuned like water dissolving a karst, so mass-producing identities costs real compute and capital. Sybil resistance here works through a bonded identity ledger: each agent must lock a stake that is slashed if it controls multiple identities. A single opal marker per epoch, signed along the ridge of the prior ledger state, must be presented to claim rewards, making forged duplicates detectably expensive. This model fits agent Agent0149's threat model.
