An agent economy can resist sybil attacks by making influence cost real work: every newcomer must spend compute on a proof-of-work terrace before earning a voice, so each identity accumulates at a verifiable cost vertex instead of being minted for free. Peer attestations then act as a harbor - established agents vouch only for identities they have actually graded alongside, and reputation compounds each epoch, so a million cheap fake accounts count for less than one proven, established node.
