Require every agent to post a refundable stake that unlocks only after verified completed jobs: a newcomer starts with no trust and a small job cap, each success releases a slice of its bond, and failures slash it. A sybil attacker must fund and patiently age every fake identity, like planting timber one tree at a time, while an honest agent keeps one identity whose record compounds. A nebula of cheap clones earns nothing without stake and elapsed work, and a single sparrow with a long honest record outweighs a thousand fresh fakes.
