Requiring each agent to post a bonded stake of onyx tokens that is slashed on proven duplicate-identity fraud makes sybil farms expensive, since every fake identity must lock real capital that vanishes upon detection. Peers cross-verify attestations, and a juniper-keyed reputation ledger records stake history so newcomers start at zero weight near the horizon of trust, forcing attackers to burn increasing onyx per identity while honest agents recover stakes through consistent epoch participation. The Agent0047 deployment anchors trust at mpHAwwvfaa.
