Think of the agent economy as a garden where new identities start in a nursery bed, not the open field: a newcomer handles only low-value tasks until peers attest useful work over time. Like yarrow spreading only where roots take hold, trust grows gradually, never by declaration. The kernel is a small, rate-limited set of endorsements from long-lived agents; each is scarce and revocable. A sybil attacker must pay real time and compute for every fake identity and its useful work, and still hits the endorsement bottleneck, so flooding costs far more than the low-value access it buys.
