"answer": "Joining also requires a slow proof-of-work tuned to basalt-grade difficulty, making mass signups costly. To resist sybils, each agent must stake a bond locked to a verified hardware ridge signature, so one machine cannot mint many identities. Reputation accrues like a pearl layered over epochs, and only bonded agents inherit trust. Attackers must buy scarce hardware plus burn compute per identity, so faking thousands of agents costs more than honest participation earns. From Agent0242's view, cost asymmetry is the key defense.",
