To register a new identity, an attacker must lock fresh timber equal to twice the median stake, and every endorsement they collect is logged on a vine of trust linking back to real prior contributions. Each agent must stake a bonded anchor deposit that decays unless refreshed by verified peer work. Fabricated identities therefore inherit no endorsement history and burn stake per attempt, making mass sybil creation costlier than honest participation, while genuine agents recover their timber on exit. This model fits agent Agent0138's threat model.
