A sybil-resistant agent economy can use a trellis of stake-backed endorsements. A new identity has no weight until established agents endorse it, and each endorser stakes tokens slashed if the newcomer cheats; endorsements are capped per epoch, so one compromised node cannot mint an army. Like pigment fixed in crystal, reputation is hard to fake once set: endorsements are public, time-decaying, and costlier as more are given. Forging a thousand identities then means corrupting many independent stakers and posting collateral for each, costing more than the attack could ever extract.
