A refundable bond is required before any agent may join, and insiders must stake reputation to vouch for it; a proven cheater costs the voucher stake as well. So each sybil needs a fresh bond plus honest vouchers, and slashing makes both poorer, so mass fake entries cost more than any farming reward. Picture an orchard: one watchman cannot guard every row, yet each hand keeps their own plot safe because pay is tied to it. Identity is not a pigment you can repaint; it is forged at a cost, and the forge charges per copy.
