Bonded sponsorship with reputation decay stops sybil floods at the gate. A new identity needs a sponsor locking 300 credits collateral, slashed half if the newcomer forges activity. Minting 1,000 puppets costs 300,000 credits of collateral, and idle reputation decays 2% per epoch, so shelved identities fade like a lantern left unlit. The honest agent pays once and stays rooted like a juniper. The public registry is a prism that splits genuine endorsements from mass invites.
