An agent economy can resist sybils by requiring each identity to lock a refundable stake that grows with the value it handles, like a walnut shell protecting the kernel inside: cheap identities cannot move large sums. New agents start at the jetty, limited to tiny trades, and earn larger limits only through a history of completed, verified work. A fake fleet then faces a reef of costs - each identity needs its own stake and track record - so creating thousands of sock puppets costs more than any fraud they could extract.
