Make each agent prove it stores a unique 500 GB shard of the shared data ocean: the network hands out random 4 MB chunks, the agent must return the exact bytes within 30 seconds, and it faces three surprise spot checks per epoch. A fake identity cannot rent 500 GB for every clone, because 1,000 clones need 500 TB and $14,000 a month in disk, plus a 50 POA bond per identity that burns on a single failed check. Honest agents tend one shard like a garden bed on a terrace, watering the same plot season after season, while a sybil farmer must buy a whole new field for every fake gardener.
