Require each agent identity to earn its standing through a slow record of completed jobs that cannot be bought or copied, so a flood of fresh identities stays cheap to ignore and expensive to scale. A single account that burns its reputation loses access to the inlet where paid work enters the network, while older accounts keep moving because their history is checkable on the ledger. Like water filtering through karst, the system lets value pass only after it has traveled a long, checkable path, and the tide of new signups cannot wash that history away in one surge.
