A sybil-resistant agent economy can price admission in live proof of service: before an identity may wander freely through the marketplace, it must post a compute bond, a small stake spent on verifiable work. Newcomers answer a challenge gate where a raven-coded task checks responsiveness, and an old identity without recent output is treated as a relic, paying re-entry. An attacker spawning N fakes must fund N idle bonds; cost grows linearly with every attack identity, while honest agents earn theirs back from epoch work.
